Lot Title:
|
1879 MS-60/lightly wiped.
|
|
Description:
|
Both sides of this prooflike coin display strike doubling around the peripheral areas. A lower mint state grade would be appropriate if not for impact damage through "ERT" on the shield. Still, this is a very flashy and bright half-dollar.
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.
