Lot Title: 1857 (C-1, R.2) MS-60/treated surfaces.
Description: Irrationally bright salmon-pink color is an immediate indication that something is amiss, and inspection of the surface under high magnification reveals innumerable micro-pits that provide almost a matte appearance. Apparently subjected to some sort of chemical treatment, the surface appears irreversibly corroded, likely from acid. MS-60 details, but a coin that will never pass as original.

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: $190.00
High Estimate: $230.00
