Lot Title:
|
1851-O F, cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
The attrition rate of early gold double-eagles was much higher than that of later pieces, so even with plenty of wear, an 1851-O is a scarce coin. This example is honestly worn with no damage, but a multitude of approximately horizontal hairlines wash over each side. They are arguably not that offensive, showing up only at limited viewing angles, but an honest description of the coin requires their mention.
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.

1851-O PCGS XF-45.

Neosho Collection. Mintage: 315,000. Very delicate hairlines swirl and crisscross over the surface, but one can presume they are mostly of incidental origin and certainly very old as the whole coin... |
