Description:

CONSIGNOR: I sure had to pay a lot for this one, back when they seemed to be rare. It seems like you can find these everywhere in an auction these days, but try to find a nice one that isn't too bright! This one was struck pretty flat, though. CATALOGER: Platinum-grey with a pleasing border of golden tone that just touches the outer point of all the stars. Struck from late and well worn dies, yet still retains fairly sharp star centrals and a third of the original luster. Die cracks on the reverse have become fairly prominent at this point, and there is a raised die lump in the field area above the eight star. A commendable AU-50 from the Forest Park Collection.
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.
