    This is a coin I thought was choice in hand. Photos show too many bag marks for this, but it's still nice. Any comments are welcome.

    thats a real nice piece. even with the wear you can tell it was well struck. VF30 i think?

    I agree, very nice coin indeed...and yes, it does look like a really good strike. Still has good detail to it.

    Very nice and I'm sure it cost a pretty penny. :D

    It was nice enough for me to purchase in spite of having 5 other nice examples of the same variety.

    A nice example of S-231 Marshall.
    One of 2 stemless varieties for 1802, R-1 (the other stemless variety is S-241).
    Decent, pleasant planchet and surfaces, no major faults. I would grade VF25.

    I agree with your assessment - very nice. Even with the uneven strike and the slight rim boo boo on the reverse I put this in the VF range. Nice S-231 coin.
