Lot Title:
|
1886 PF-63.
|
Description:
|
Extremely sharp, heavily frosted strike details stand up from the very reflective fields, suggesting strong cameo contrast. This coin has the immediate visual impact of a resounding "gem", but careful examination finds a few hairlines that dart furtively about the wide areas of the fields. Lovely rim tone is collected along the edges of both sides, but more so on the obverse, where it sweeps up the left side in a narrow path of vivid cobalt and bronze color. Absolutely lovely!
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.

Even with fifteen points of wear, it is apparent that this 1886 quarter was originally prooflike when struck. Longtime collectors of the series know that this is usually the case for quarters (and... |
