The 1802 No Stems variety shows the reverse wreath without visible stem ends at the base. The feature is identical in concept to the stems/no-stems distinction on half cents: stems dies show short lines below the bow tying the wreath, while no-stems dies show a clean juncture. The distinction is die-specific and determined during die preparation.
Among 1802 large cent varieties, the No Stems is one of several die characteristics that Sheldon used to catalog the year's many die marriages. Given the massive 1802 mintage, multiple reverse dies were used, and the presence or absence of stems varies by die. The No Stems variety is collectible but not dramatically scarcer than stems varieties from the same date. The enormous production output means both types survive in reasonable numbers.
