Lot Title:
|
Five Shield nickels.
|
|
Description:
|
A distinctive group of shield nickels, all in better grades than what is usually seen for the type. They are cataloged as follows: 1866 rays (AU), 1866 rays (XF), 1868 (AU-58), 1874 (MS-60/reverse corrosion), and 1881 (PF-60/slight environmental damage). 1881 is notorious as an issue for which proofs and business strikes are easily confused, and the bulging in the shield lines usually indicates a commercial strike. In this case, however, the edges are clearly sharply beveled, and though the surfaces are only mildly prooflike, attribution as a proof seems pretty well assured. Five coin lot.
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.
