(About The Images)
1847 ANACS AU-50. 1847 ANACS AU-50.
Lot Title: 1847 ANACS AU-50.
Description: Obverse details are particularly sharp, while the reverse endures minor softness, likely due to a well worn die. Virtually no cartwheel luster is visible despite the AU-50 grade provided by ANACS, yet this is hardly a concern since the surfaces are draped in moderate, exceedingly original tarnished-grey patina that is remarkably appealing for silver coins of this vintage. Thus, one would expect the luster to be diminished, replaced by the wholesome, attractive patina. Not one single rim ding can be seen on either side, and a number of frail die cracks entangle with much of the reverse peripheral lettering, helping to explain the age and wear of the reverse die.
Low Estimate: $800.00
High Estimate: $975.00

786The Midwest Summer Sale 2011 on 07/29/2011$360.00
1847 XF details/cleaned.
Cleaning is fairly innocuous, leaving the surfaces just a little too white. Strangely, a greyish stain in the obverse right field remains. A small rim bump can be seen at 2:00 of the reverse.

1847 AU.
Considerable friction greys the fields, but enough luster remains, especially next to the devices, to suggest that some prooflike character was imparted by a pleasing strike. A smallish oblong patch...
547The Midwest Winter Sale on 02/12/2010$425.00
1847 XF.
Although graded merely XF, each side features unexpected hints of cartwheel luster, hidden within the peripheral devices. Just modest wear appears on Liberty's knees and bust, and her left (observed)...

1847 XF/lightly cleaned.

1847 XF-40+ Cleaned.
