Lot Title:
|
1810 Small Date, Tall 5. NTC MS-61.
|
Description:
|
Attributed as "BD-1", a "small date, large 5" die marriage considered scarce, and this is a pleasing example of the issue. Substantial remaining mint luster occupies two-thirds of the reverse and much of the obverse, suggesting a grade of AU-53 (NTC has graded this coin MS-61), and the surfaces retain decent, original quality, with no hairlines or prominent marks to detract from the visual appeal. Minor adjustment marks appear along the right obverse border, but they do not infringe on any of the important detail areas. Collectors seeking a nicer example of this early gold type should not ignore this commendably struck coin despite the holder - it is a nice piece.
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.
