Lot Title:
|
1854 'small date' Coronet double eagle AU-55
|
|
Description:
|
Scarcely any wear appears on either side of this early double-eagle. The luster is nearly full and extends virtually completely through all the fields, except for a brief interruption in the left obverse field. Apricot-gold colors the extensive mint luster remaining in the protected areas between the devices.
This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.
