Lot Title:
|
1857 half-cent MS-63 BN and an 1856 large-cent MS-63 BN.
|
Description:
|
A quick and easy copper type set is accomplished by acquisition of this lot, comprised of an 1857 half-cent and an 1856 large-cent. Both coins grade MS-63 BN. The half-cent displays pleasing khaki-tan patina with peeps of mint red, while the large-cent is burgundy-red with brown tone at the edges. This latter coin may have been recolored in this two coin lot.
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.
