Lot Title:
|
1902 $5 AU, 1907 $5 AU details/surface damage, and a 1903 $2.50 MS-61/hairlines.
|
Description:
|
A 1903 quarter eagle, 1902 half-eagle and 1907 half-eagle offer $12.50 face value in gold. Each is a lustrous coin that could grade AU through MS-60, but any or all might fail certification due to evidence of minor cleaning. Three coin 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.

1902 NGC MS-62.
|
MS-62 is right-on, simultaneously reflecting slightly greyish patina, adequate luster and light contact marks even strewn about the fields. When the grade is right, it's right! |
|
862 | The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010 | $825.00 |
1902 PCGS MS-63.
|
The amber-gold tint is just about as ideal as can be, free of spots on the obverse, while the reverse defers to a single copper spot dangling from the right end of the scroll. Fairly sharp and housed... |
