Lot Title: 1889 Three dollar, AU-55, cleaned
Description: Enough sharp detail remains that many collectors needing a type coin for their set will be interested in this piece. Unfortunately, just a bit too much of the original surface quality has been removed for your cataloger to advise a straight grade. Observant collectors will note a cut on the left obverse edge.

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.

Low Estimate: $850.00
High Estimate: $1,050.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $1,150.00
