1855-D VF details/obverse lamination.

Description:
|
A pair of embedded, jagged streaks across the obverse attest to the difficulties Dahlonega had with production of quality planchets, and the color has that distinctive canary-gold hue characteristic of that mint's coins. 22,432 were struck, and most have the soft strike seen here, although some luster persists around the devices and suggests a grade of VF+ overall. If one can get over the distraction of the laminations, which are after all as-struck, then this becomes quite a decent type coin for southern gold. (PCGS# 008263)
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.
