Lot Title:
|
1836 Script 8/Head of 1835. XF/damage/cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
A slightly glossy finish has been imparted by a mild cleaning, but fortunately, some original reflectivity can still be seen in the protected areas around the stars. Of note are four smallish digs on the obverse, by the first star, above the date, beneath the ear and atop the rightmost hair curl. The latter two are cleverly hidden within the design elements. Despite the rather heavy-handed sounding description, this coin is not at all unattractive and merits consideration by the budget conscious collector.
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.

1836 Script 8. NGC AU-55.

Lemon-gold fields exude some luster between the stars, but the surfaces are noticeably less original than would be ideal, since they are lighter in color than one would expect of gold nearing 175... |
