Lot Title: 1858-S NCS AU details, Rim Damage, Improperly Cleaned.
Description: Nearly all of the original mint luster has been eradicated by an odd cleaning that may have involved chemical application. Though not thickly hairlined, the surfaces are cloudy and unnaturally textured. The strike is very good, however, and despite plentiful mintages, double-eagles of this era are not common in better grades.

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: $950.00
High Estimate: $1,100.00
