Lot Title:

1895-S $20 Liberty AU, 1882 $5 Liberty MS-60/cleaned, and a 1905 $2.50 Liberty MS-60.

Description:
|
For a circulated double-eagle with character, the 1895-S double-eagle is a remarkably attractive gold coin, featuring solid "dirty gold" looks and lively luster beneath the mango-gold patina. The 1882 half-eagle and 1905 quarter-eagle are finely detailed and lustrous, but hairlines provide indisputable evidence of cleaning. Three 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.
