Lot Title:
|
1822 (N-4) MS-60/altered surfaces.
|
|
Description:
|
Remarkably sharp for an early 1820s large-cent, with finely detailed hair strands and pleasing definition in the wreath. Overly glossy surfaces appear to have been lightly polished then recolored burgundy-brown, resulting in a coin with rather odd reflectivity but an intriguing appearance nonetheless. EAC 45, perhaps.
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.

1822 (N-4, R.2) MS-64/rev. scratch/questionable color.
|
|
Amazingly crisp luster percolates around all the fields, but its debatable how much of the eye-catching effect is as-struck, since the oddly "bright-yet-dark" olive-pink color is clearly not original.... |
