(About The Images)
1851, 1851-O, 1855, 1867 and 1872 Three-Cent silver pieces. 1851, 1851-O, 1855, 1867 and 1872 Three-Cent silver pieces.
Lot Title: 1851, 1851-O, 1855, 1867 and 1872 Three-Cent silver pieces.
Description: A lot of three cent silver coins that failed certification at PCGS, yet offer terrific value for what they are. Included with commentary are: 1851 "cleaned" (more likely just heavily abraded on the devices, as the fields remain unaffected), 1851-O "cleaned" (uncirculated details), 1855 "cleaned" (naturally retoned over moderate hairlines), 1867 "cleaned" (either a proof, or very prooflike), and 1872 "damage or tooling spot(s) removed" (proof, with a corrosion spot removed from the lower right star point). There is no truly definitive way to distinguish 1867 proofs from business strikes, as the mint actually used them interchangeably in proof sets and in distribution to circulation. Five coin lot.

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.

Low Estimate: $1,100.00
