The 1826 half-cent grades XF-45 and is powdered with dusky dark chocolate toning. It is accompanied by an 1850 that grades AU-55 and has hints of mint red underlying walnut brown patina, especially on the reverse. Two coin lot from the Handyman's Early Type Collection.
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.
