Lot Title:
|
1914 AU/old cleaning/scratched.
|
|
Description:
|
Unlike the case with the other Barber series, 1914 is one of the keys to the series and very challenging to locate "nice", particularly in better grades, although it is quite difficult even in the lowest collectable grades. Virtually all of the original uncirculated detail remains for this attractive example, with hardly any wear noticeable at all, and on top of that, the beige-grey patina with peripheral tan accents is very pleasing to the eye. Subdued luster can be revealed with a strong light. The grade disclaimer refers to an almost forgivable scratch through the corner of Liberty's eye. It is not noticeable without magnification, but is may be just barely perceptible enough to prevent a straight grade at a grading service.
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.

1914 and 1915-S, both XF.
|
|
1914 offers obvious key status, especially at XF-40 with absolutely perfect, sumptuous pewter-grey surfaces. 1915-S isn't rare at all, but this is a nice example with attractive XF-40 sharpness and... |

1914 AU details/lightly cleaned.

Indeed, one can easily see the obverse as an AU-55 that has suffered just the most innocuous wipe imaginable. A number of very tiny, wispy hairlines curl across the portrait, but hardly impact the... |
