Lot Title:
|
1891 MS-61 PL.
|
|
Description:
|
It would be easy to mistake this 1891 half as a proof, since both sides display cameo contrast and highly reflective fields. Many business strikes from the era of 1879 - 1891 display similar characteristics, however, and several of this date alone have been certified as being prooflike (or even DMPL). The somewhat noisy surfaces are typical of prooflike coins with delicate fields, and will prevent consideration for the "choice" level, but most collectors will be impressed by the dynamic eye-appeal.
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.
