Lot Title: 1800 Americai variety (B-19, BB-192, R-2) . XF.
Description: The so-called "Americai" remains popular with collectors, probably because it is so easy to attribute. Of course, the name is misleading since trailing extra "letter" is almost certainly not a misplaced letter at all, but merely a visually compelling die defect. The obverse is a medium bright silver-slate with velvet-blue overtures migrating from the fields toward the rims, while a more uniform and slightly brilliant steel-grey coloration beckons from the reverse. Very little cartwheel effect remains on either side, with just a sliver of glinting luster chirping from between the stars. While not strictly "original", most any collector would be pleased to upgrade a collection with this coin, and certification should prove to be no problem, if so desired.

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.

1800 Americai variety (B-19, BB-192, R.2). PCGS Genuine.
