Lot Title:
|
1882 Proof/altered surfaces.
|
Description:
|
Cameo contrast is stronger on the reverse than the obverse, and such designation might have been appropriate if not for issues affecting the surface quality. Hairlines are indicative of obvious cleaning, but some residue clinging to the devices suggest a past encounter with strong chemicals, leading to the "altered surfaces" disclaimer. That being said, mirrors remain strongly reflective, and proper conservation could restore considerable vibrancy to this difficult proof type coin.
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.

Blazing cameo contrast provides splendid eye appeal for this proof Trade dollar, and an ultra-cameo designation would be tempting if not for some breaks in the low lying areas of frost on Liberty's... |
