Lot Title:
|
1806 Knobbed 6, Heraldic Eagle. AU.
|
Description:
|
Anymore, the opportunity to buy uncertified early gold with visual appeal seldom comes about. This is such an opportunity, an 1806 "knobbed 6" half-eagle with good eye appeal, good original surface quality. Some very nice mint luster beckons from the fields, particularly the reverse which is very close to "uncirculated". There is a touch of honey-golden toning liberally distributed amongst the reverse devices, and some typical adjustment marks across the eagle's shield. The only problem of note is a scratch, also across the shield but turned nearly 90 degrees from the adjustment marks. Thus, the scratch is surprisingly easy to miss at first, and only with a loupe does it become evident.
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.

As usual, the goopy slab insert hides the edge, and likely disguises an edge aberration that led PCGS to the "ex-jewelry" disclaimer. Otherwise, the surfaces merely appear to be cleaned, albeit... |
