Notes:
"This
year is similar to the 1901, but all three mints are scarcer then their
1901 counterparts. The 1902-P, with its very high mintage, is surprisingly
tough to find.
Strikes of the three issues are
typical of most other Barber years, except that the 1902-S rarely has a
P/L appearance."1
The finest
Uncirculated example graded by PCGS is a single MS-67.
