Lot Title:
|
1914-S $10 Indian AU, and a 1915 $5 Indian AU.
|
|
Description:
|
A well-to-do American businessman during the first world war might well have walked around with a pair of coins like this in his pocket - fifteen dollars comprised of gold, both lightly circulated. Certainly, that would have made a better, more substantial statement of wealth than those large, flimsy paper notes! The lustrous 1914-S Indian eagle grades AU-50, while the accompanying 1915 half-eagle grades XF-40 and has a pleasing, original appearance. What's in your wallet? Two 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.

1914-S NGC AU-58.
|
|
A properly graded AU-58 coin is often defined as an MS-63 with slight rub, and such is the case here. Considerable scrutiny of the Eagle's shoulder is required to discern the faint evidence of rub... |

1914-S NGC MS-62.
|
|
A couple of scattered abrasions seem to be almost obscured by this example's projected orange-gold exuberant glow. A well-struck specimen of this elusive date at the Mint State level. |
