Lot Title: 1831 B-1, R-3. Small Letters. AU-53.
Description: This is the first year of issue for the Reduced Diameter variety for this Capped Bust type. It is an example of the late die state, showing both reverse die breaks described by Browning. The surfaces are imbued with an heirloom russet-orange aspect augmented by mottled blue toning. There are no obtrusive marks or blemishes to note on this robust strike.

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.

Low Estimate: $450.00
High Estimate: $550.00
