1878 8TF Paramount MS-65. 1878 8TF Paramount MS-65.
Lot Title: 1878 8TF Paramount MS-65.
Description: The Paramount grade of MS-65 is very likely befitting, though conservative graders will note a lengthy vertical scuff on Liberty's cheek. This is a handsome coin with a silvery-white aspect that is thinly surrounded by a vivid concentric rings of gold and indigo color. Both the obverse and reverse dies are hub doubled, the reverse more dramatically so than the obverse.

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: $1,450.00
High Estimate: $1,600.00
