Lot Title:
|
1832 (C-1, R-2), MS-60.
|
|
Description:
|
A commercial grade of MS-60 reflects mint state details, subtle luster and tinges of red for this 1832 C-1 half-cent. Technical considerations must take into account a faint planchet flaw on Liberty's cheek and some easily missed spotting of the reverse surface, leading to an EAC 55 grade approximation. Proper conservation could lead to an increase in grade if better mint luster becomes present.
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.

C-3 is easy to recognize by the tiny raised lumps strewn across the reverse - the result of a rusted die. Interestingly, there is some dispute as to whether any examples were struck from "perfect... |
