Lot Title:
|
1838-D VF/rim tooled.
|
Description:
|
1838 was the only year that Dahlonega struck classic head half-eagles, and the issue is popular in any grade because of that. While decent in initial appearance because of strong VF details, and despite glossy and faintly hairlined surfaces, examination of the rims reveals a most peculiar situation whereby it appears the edge has been re-reeded. One can imagine that the coin was mounted at one time, and upon removal from its housing, needed to have the rims filed down and the edge repaired to restore a more suitable appearance.
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.
