Lot Title: 1812 Large Date (S-288, R-2) AU BN.
Description: Planchet quality is much better than average for a classic head, with 1812s generally less troubled than other dates in this series. The obverse is nearly perfectly smooth except for a small rougher patch near 1:00, and the reverse is even nicer, except for a planchet lamination between OF and ONE. A reasonably well centered coin that seems to have been struck on a slightly undersized planchet, resulting in some dentilation that bleeds off the planchet. EAC 40.

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: $1,150.00

286The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$330.00
1812 Small Date (S-290) NGC XF details/corrosion.
Fairly heavy corrosion roughens up the appearance from either side, which is too bad since the details remain tantalizingly sharp at the commercial XF level. Dark on the obverse, with a little better...

1812 S-289 Large Date, PCGS AU-58.
No substantial wear can be found anywhere from a commercial grading standpoint, causing this difficult type coin to look just as any low UNC example might be expected to look. Very slight rub does...
217The Collectors' Auction 2012 on 10/05/2012$500.00
1812 (S-288) VF/scratched, 1813 (S-292) VG, and an 1814 (S-295) VG.
As a type, the classic-head large-cent series provides a challenge, considering how often they show up with hideous surfaces. Here is a trio with something to offer, and each is attributed as...
345The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$360.00
1812 (S-288) "large date" VF details/cleaned/obverse scratches.
Pleasing VF details remain, with the reverse even showing some XF quality. A few scratches on the obverse, along with some porosity, but still attractive nonetheless (jw).
346The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$750.00
1812 small date (S-291, R.2) PCGS VF-30.
Strong flowlines dominate the texture, and suggest Breen's die-state III, and for that matter, most of the denticles are positively mushy even taking into account the off-center strike. Despite the...
114The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$1,050.00
1812 Large Date (S289, R-1). AU details/recolored .
1812 is often the best choice as a classic head type coin, since that date represents the best odds of finding the type with decent surface quality. This example provides a wealth of sharpness in the...
505The Midwest Winter Sale 2009 on 02/13/2009$525.00
1812 Small Date (S-290, R-1). AU details.
Chemical treatment of the surfaces to reduce the ill effects of porosity has resulted in a mottled reddish-brown obverse and an inconsistent olive-green reverse. Sharpness is actually not far off...
229The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$550.00
1812 S-289, Net VF
This is a very appealing large cent, despite some issues. It appears to have been smoothed long ago, and a few very tiny pits are present. The detail grade exceeds the XF grade requirements, the...
230The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$215.00
1812 S-288, Net VF.
This coin has been cleaned with Zylol, evidenced by the steely appearance. The detail grade is a strong XF with full facial and hair detail. Mild roughness is present on the reverse. The stars are...
231The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$750.00
1812 S-290, XF+
This is a beautiful cent. The stars and devices are well struck, but one short scratch is noted from the corner of the mouth to behind the eye. It is just barely visible. The surfaces are a deep...
252The Midwest Winter Sale 2007 on 02/09/2007$390.00
1812 VF-30.
This is a solid VF+ Large Cent that would be a great addition to your Type Set. It has rich color and strong detail.
229The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$975.00
1812 XF.
This is a very nice problem-free piece. The color is a nice even brown without any of the splotchiness that sometimes plagues this issue. This is the small date variety designated as Sheldon 290. A...
262The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$400.00
1812 Small Date, S-290, R-1 VF-25.
An example of the most common variety from this year, it displays an excellent chocolate-brown aspect over fairly smooth surfaces. A couple toned over ticks are noted on a bold strike that has a...
