(About The Images)
1840 AU/polished. 1840 AU/polished.
Lot Title: 1840 AU/polished.
Description: It is likely this 1840 dollar was at least semi-prooflike when struck, but it has been subsequently lightly polished, resulting in too pale an appearance to be ideal. Seated dollars of the 1840s sometimes were well produced, and this one displays nice, sharp details despite light wear and the mild cleaning.

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: $475.00
