Lot Title:

1848-D XF details/cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
Touted as one of the "common" Dahlonega mint coins, the late die state for 18-M is described by Doug Winter, stating "Reverse cracks have formed from the eagle's left wing down into the arrows and into the RI in AMERICA". That is an apt description for this example, with an additional die crack between the beak and STATES, yet reverse details are remarkably bold for a die near it's terminal state. Strike quality causes the obverse to appear a full grade lower, but worse, heavy cleaning or polished surfaces makes this an unnaturally bright and reflective type coin. XF-40 details.
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.

1848-D always comes weakly struck across the lower half of Liberty's portrait, and that is apparent, along with some weakness in the stars on the left. The eagle's feathers are suitably defined for... |
