Lot Title:

Description:
|
The effect of only a very mild cleaning takes the form of subtle alteration of the remaining mint luster and steely-grey color, yet a significant portion of the original surface quality remains.

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.
