Lot Title:
|
1860-S NGC AU Details/improperly cleaned.
|
|
Description:
|
"Improperly cleaned" almost seems a superfluous statement for a circulated 150 year-old silver coin that remains stark white, especially since the cleaning process was rather mild and hasn't thickly hairlined the surfaces. Anyone could guess that something was done to maintain this level of whiteness! Still, much luster remains, and details are affected only by light wear. Not mentioned by NGC is a thin, intermittent hairline scratch that bisects the obverse, but is visible only under magnification.

1860-S NGC AU-55.
|
|
3 graded AU-55, 15 higher at NGC. Minted to the extent of 140,000 pieces, the 1860-S dime must have suffered considerable attrition, as survivors in any grade are difficult to locate, with AU coins... |
