Lot Title:
|
1870 XF.
|
Description:
|
1870 is readily obtained in any circulated condition, yet in this day of ubiquitous slabs, it is unusual to be able to find one that can actually be held and appreciated, free from encumbrance. This example probably deserves high XF consideration, but a quick, modestly deep scratch near 10:00 of the reverse must be noted, leading to an overall low XF grade.
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.

A quick glance is all that's needed to ascertain that the pale reflectivity is not natural for a gold coin like this, considering ten points of wear. But to be fair, the appearance is far from... |
