Lot Title:
|
1898-O AU.
|
|
Description:
|
The reverse stands virtually at the precipice of an uncirculated grade, while the obverse is nearer the AU level, even as the overall pale white appearance helps to stimulate consideration for a mint-state grade. Alas, definite wear can be seen on Liberty's forehead, cheek and lower neck, and despite plenty of luster, an AU evaluation is necessary. Regardless of grade, 1898-O is a better date in the Barber half-dollar series, and is one of the toughest issues in the AU range.
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.

1898-O and 1904-O, both VF.

Each displays sharpness of the VF level, but the 1904-O could be a borderline XF coin, as it displays lovely dove-grey patina and the faintest touch of luster. The 1898-O shows strong two-toned... |
