Description:

At one time, just a few decades ago, St. Louis was home to numerous coin shops, though today, perhaps only a half-dozen remain in business around the metropolitan area. This 1802 B-6 dollar was purchased from "DeeJay, Inc." probably thirty years ago by our consignor, and makes its first appearance on the market since that time. Initially, this is a reasonably attractive coin, with neutral beige-grey surfaces and no obvious distractions, but closer inspection under proper lighting reveals unnatural metal texture, indicative of an old cleaning. Furthermore, placement on a flat surface suggests that an almost unnoticeable bend was the cause of a slightly unusual wear pattern on the reverse. These observations aside, many collectors would be delighted to add a bust dollar like this to their collection at a reasonable bid level.
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.
