Lot Title:
|
1870-S gold dollar, NCS XF Details Improperly Cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
The final branch mint gold dollar bears a mintage of a mere 3000 pieces, and though price guides indicate a small value premium, it is a coin that doesn't appear at auction all that often. This example has typically struck detail, and the surfaces are only mildly dulled by a relatively harmless cleaning.
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.
