Lot Title:
|
1912-D AU.
|
|
Description:
|
Substantial original luster roams around the fields and proclaims this a high-end AU coin, with AU-55 a likely grade level for such a nice, steam-white half. Light friction touches the portrait and affects some of the flowline luster in the fields, but the cartwheel effect which remains is nearly dazzling in presence. Definition is better on the obverse than the reverse due to a disparity in wear between the dies.
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.

1912-D AU-58.
|
|
One of our graders called this coin MS-63, but there appears to be some slight friction, so let's be on the safe side and award it the AU-58 grade. Scattered russet toning can be seen on both sides. |
