Although bearing the flatly struck details that always seem to be present on Dahlonega gold, perceptive bidders will find traces of luster within the peripheral devices that confirm preservation at the XF-40 level. Unfortunately, surfaces overall are glossy from an old cleaning, and that diminishes value, though some level of canary-gold patina has returned to help offset excessive brightness. As always for a circulated Dahlonega coin, many tiny abrasions pepper each side, but none is individually distracting, and there are no obtrusive rim dings.

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.
