1870 MS-65 RB. 1870 MS-65 RB.
Lot Title: 1870 MS-65 RB.
Description: The splendid surfaces display a red-orange aspect on the obverse, with a deeper purple splash in the central reverse area. A few speckles are seen here and there on this significantly struck example.

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.

Low Estimate: $400.00
High Estimate: $550.00

1870 PCGS Genuine.
Genuine-94 is intended for "altered surfaces", but the least PCGS could do was not alter the surfaces even further by sticking a beard stubble to the fifth vertical stripe in the shield. "Altered"...

1870 PCGS PF-63 BN.
About 20% of the original mint red color remains, though much of what comprises the "brown" area is actually tinted in deep burgundy tones. Minor greenish flakes of what is likely old PVC residue...

1870 SEGS PF-66 RB.
