Lot Title: 1836 VF details/reverse damage.
Description: Dove-grey surfaces display excellent vintage quality and no signs of cleaning, with the few hairlines seen being incidental from circulation. What appears at first to be a planchet flaw cannot be missed at the upper left reverse rim, but examination of subtly raised metal at the corresponding area at the point of Liberty's bust confirms impact damage. Because of its low mintage, 1836 has been hoarded many times in its long history as a famous scarcity, and even coins grading only F-12 are desirable.

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: $1,400.00
High Estimate: $1,600.00
