Lot Title:

1854-S AU details/cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
1854-S in the gold eagle series is not strictly rare, as a mintage of almost 124-thousand pieces makes readily apparent, but the date is significant as the commencement of gold coinage in San Francisco, and therefore popular with collectors. Flickers of luster can be seen in a narrow band that includes the obverse stars, while the reverse displays rather substantial cartwheel effect, proclaiming details at the XF-45 grade level. Each side is modestly cleaned, as can be seen by a few stray hairlines in the fields, yet many bidders will be satisfied with the apricot-gold 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.

Very bright, in part due to the extensive luster required of an AU-55 grade, but the lemon-yellow color might also speak to a minor old dip with no detrimental effects. Scattered reed marks and... |
