(About The Images)
1852 XF. 1852 XF.
Lot Title: 1852 XF.
Description: NGC recently declined certification of this earlier double-eagle, deeming it too "improperly cleaned". While that may or may not be true, each side still retains noticeable original luster, and hairlines are not obvious anywhere. This really is a very decent looking piece! Refusal to encapsulate such a coin seems particularly jaundiced when one realizes that the difference between the XF and VF levels is all of... ten dollars, which is... just about the cost of a plastic slab. Sometimes, it really is best to just buy the coin, and not worry about the holder (or lack thereof).

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: $1,150.00
High Estimate: $1,300.00

Scarcely circulated and certainly not lacking in luster, this 1852 double-eagle features considerable eye appeal despite a mild and hardly noticeable cleaning. Indeed, it's likely that this coin gets...

1852/52 XF
No over dates are known to exist in the Coronet double-eagle series (the purported 1853/2 notwithstanding). Therefore, variety specialists must be content with looking for recut dates, and the 1852...

1852 AU.
The obvious and heavily repunched date is mentioned in Breen's Encyclopedia (Breen-7152), and as described, an extra impression is visible above all four digits. This coin displays ample luster...
