Lot Title: Nearly complete set of Indian cents (no 69/9 or 1877).
Description: The consignor has done such a phenomenal job of acquiring coins with exceptional detail that it is unnecessary to single out individual highlights. Suffice it to say that every single coin in this near-complete set (no 1856, 1869/9 or 1877) grades at minimum XF to AU (and generally toward the higher range), except for: 1864-L, 1865, 1872, 1904, 1906, and 1909-S, which are all nonetheless very near XF for details. Unfortunately, two factors combine to de-emphasize the value of this collection: every single coin has been cleaned (some long ago), and most of them were in PVC flips. The marriage of a freshly cleaned coin to a PVC flip can have particularly dire consequences, but luckily, these coins display no obvious corrosive damage, though the natural retoning process for many coins has led to odd colors. A few coins have retoned to a reasonable facsimile of original color (check out 1864 bronze, 1873, 1875, 1876, 1886 type-2, and 1889), but by and large, these will not pass as original pieces, and potential bidders must formulate a prudent valuation strategy. Needless to say, personal inspection is mandatory for this lot.

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.
