Lot Title:
|
Set of Morgan dollars, 1878 through 1890-S, in an Intercept Shield album.
|
|
Description:
|
An Intercept Shield album should not permit toning of coins, and so it must be assumed that many of there were toned prior to placement in the album. Quite a number of them display rather odd, dark stains of undetermined origin. Better coins include: 1878-CC (AU), 1879-CC (XF/mildly cleaned), 1880/79-CC (MS-60), 1881-CC (VF/cleaned), 1882-CC (MS-62), 1883-CC (MS-63), 1883-S (MS-60/wiped), 1884-CC (MS-63 PL), 1884-S (XF-45), 1885-CC (MS-60), 1888-S (MS-60), 1889-CC (XF/stained), 1889-O (MS-62), 1889-S (MS-60/stained), and 1890-CC (AU/polished). 1883-S looks like a sure-fire (and expensive) lustrous MS-62 at first glance, but the obverse left fields displays hairlines at certain angles. It is still a rather remarkable coin for the date.
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.
