Lot Title:
|
1804 Fair/bent.
|
|
Description:
|
One can be hesitant about pronouncing a coin as "choice" when it only grades Fair, but the planchet is ideally smooth, and there are no marks of note. The coin circulated in slightly bent state, and that is the reason for such an amazingly strong date and LIBERTY, with all other detail practically worn away. The reverse is not far from slick. (PCGS# 005312)
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.
