Lot Title:

1868-S VF details/cleaned.
|
Description:
|
San Francisco produced some very low mintages for gold during the 1860s, including 52,000 for the 1868-S half-eagle (same as the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter). The date is particularly scarce above AU, and even a VF example like this has numismatic value. Surfaces are somewhat olive-grey from an old cleaning, but that should not be much of an impediment, as the general appearance is not bad at all. (PCGS# 008316)
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.

1868-S XF-40.

This is one nice example of a tough Half Eagle. It is bright in color, free of copper spots, and there is a lot of original mint luster remaining. |
