Lot Title:
|
1860-S AU, few scratches.
|
|
Description:
|
1860-S is a scarcer antebellum double-eagle, despite a lavish mintage of over half a million coins. Solid mint luster and pleasing surface quality might initially suggest a slightly better grade, but full disclosure requires notice of some smallish scribbles between the third and fourth stars, and two tiny claw-like digs beneath the last star. The isolated location of these defects minimizes their impact, and thus, this is still an attractive coin.
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.

A solid XF that is still glowing. Original surfaces and with the contact ticks you would expect on an XF graded coin. This is an overall appealing earlier date Coronet Double Eagle. |
