Lot Title:
|
1794 Head of 1793. VF details/corroded.
|
|
Description:
|
Surfaces have been gently burnished in order to enhance smoothness and eye appeal, and the overall improvement is noticeable. Yet, patches of greenish corrosion remain on the reverse, and fine overall microporosity will probably always be a detraction no matter what efforts might be made at "improvement". Maris referred to S-30 as the "amiable face", the obverse used on both S-30 and S-31, and this example grades VF.
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.

Laminations parallel the diagonal direction of streaky toning on the obverse, and this could be deemed distracting by some collectors. Those who enjoy original early copper will not be offended at... |
