1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. XF. 1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. XF.
Lot Title: 1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. XF.
Description: 1803/2 is one of the most blatant overdates in the vast repertoire of early American coinage, probably on par with the 1817/3 capped bust half-dollar. One needn't have a loupe to detect the underdigit. This coin faces up as a very decent straw-gold XF with a slightly flattened obverse rim at 4:00. Although not as hairlined as a cleaned coin might be, the reverse is affected by myriad adjustment marks, and their cumulative effect may offend some collectors (though your cataloger is firmly in the camp of collectors who enjoys their presence).

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.

High Estimate: $5,000.00

1803/2 Heraldic Eagle NGC AU-58.

1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. NGC XF details/improperly cleaned.
Surfaces are glossy and clearly not original, with hazy hairlines that dominate the field and ensure a complete lack of original luster. NGC states "XF details", but perhaps the sharpness is only in...

1803/2 BD-2 R.5 Heraldic Eagle. SEGS AU-55.
SEGS did not attribute the die marriage of BD-2, which can be ascertained by the broken right foot of "T" in LIBERTY and the gorgeous bisecting die crack on the reverse. 1803/2 is one of the most...

1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. MS-62 Obverse Scratches.
It kind of looks like this coin was in a horrible skateboarding accident and caught a little road rash. Other than the scratches, this coin is still pretty choice. It has bright color, a descent...

1803/2 Heraldic Eagle. SEGS MS-60.
This coin looks like it would grade MS-60 with any holder. The color is bright gold, and the details are full. It has the usual myriad of tiny marks that land a coin in a 60 holder, but is...
