Description:
|
(Ex. Tom Reynolds, condition-census #3) Residing in Tom's distinctive yellow paper envelope is this 1845 N-5, a common type representative for the date. This coin features lovely lavender-olive luster and a very sharp strike, indicative of pristine dies, and sure enough, "state a" is indicated upon the envelope. The rims are exceedingly sharp and free from contact, and except for a couple of trivial carbon spots, the surfaces are clean. An aficionado of early copper can gain some appreciation of the minting procedure by examining the rim of this coin (an activity denied by slabbed coins), and notice the fascinating milling marks and seam that resulted from the planchet being punched out of copper stock. Beautiful coin, and condition census to boot.
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.

1845 (N-1, R.1) PCGS AU-55.

Possibly submitted with expectation of a mint-state grade, since the value of an 1845 large cent at AU-55 doesn't seem to justify the cost of certification. A honey-brown example with unmistakably... |

1845 (N-5) NGC MS-62 BN and 1850 ICG MS-62 BN.

MS-62 BN has been judiciously applied each of these large-cents by competing grading services, with different reasons in each case. The 1845 N-5 large-cent is certified by NGC and has too many... |

1845 PCGS Genuine.

The "altered surfaces" indicated by PCGS Genuine-94 surely refers to recoloring of the slightly cleaned surfaces, but the overall appearance is quite decent. Maroon-violet toning has overtaken the... |

1845 PCGS AU-58.
|
|
From a commercial standpoint, virtually no rub distinguishes this 1845 large-cent from an uncirculated example. Rather, it is faint circulation marks lead to the grade. Sharply detailed. |
