Lot Title:
|
1851 VF.
|
|
Description:
|
Undisturbed, wholly original patina dominates each side of the early double-eagle, lending a pleasing appearance. Fanatics of honestly circulated early Liberty gold will enjoy reviewing this 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.

Two 1851 ANACS XF-40.
|
|
Both are graded the same (XF-40) by ANACS, and this presumably takes into account a light cleaning of each. One coin has slightly more detail than the other, but probably bears a "silent net grade"... |

|
1851 NGC AU-55.
|
|
Consistently abraded on both sides and struck slightly flat. The reverse, as usual, has better preserved luster than the obverse. |
|
| 1085 | The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008 | $1,350.00 |
|
1851 NGC AU-55.
|
|
Rather lacking in luster for the grade, but as always, the distinctive "off-center portrait" of these early issues lends interest to the coin's appearance. The "A" in STATES is defective, as it is on... |
