1859-O XF/rim bruise. 1859-O XF/rim bruise.
Lot Title: 1859-O XF/rim bruise.
Description: An inconsequential rim bruise just at 6:00 of the obverse detracts not one whit from this handsome type coin. Neutral grey, with the slightest hint of luster in protected areas of the reverse.

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: $300.00
High Estimate: $400.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $330.00
