Lot Title:
|
1874-CC VF.
|
|
Description:
|
Spectacular, original quality drives the outstanding appeal of this Carson City double-eagle. While considered downright scarce in AU grades and above, this mustard-gold coin at the VF level represents an affordable alternative to such lofty aspirations. Ashy-grey tone affects both sides, lending an air of perfect vintage charm.
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.

Tooling of the obverse lower left field was a foolish attempt to eradicate some minor contact marks that really didn't impact the eye-appeal all that much to begin with. That side was subsequently... |
