Lot Title:
|
1882 PF-62 CAMEO.
|
Description:
|
Blazing cameo contrast provides splendid eye appeal for this proof Trade dollar, and an ultra-cameo designation would be tempting if not for some breaks in the low lying areas of frost on Liberty's portrait. Mirrors are slightly deeper on the reverse, but overall they are very deep, again bordering on the requirements for UCAM. The strike is absolutely phenomenal, leaving no obvious signs of weakness anywhere. The technical grade of MS-62 is accounted for by the myriad wispy hairlines that can be seen as a light passes over the fields, as well as an additional patchy area of hairlines near the twelfth star, but their cumulative effect is not severe at all.
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.

Cameo contrast is stronger on the reverse than the obverse, and such designation might have been appropriate if not for issues affecting the surface quality. Hairlines are indicative of obvious... |
