Lot Title: 1879-CC Capped Die. XF details/cleaned.
Description: Strong consideration could definitely be given the AU level, since both sides benefit from pronounced luster. Indeed, the eagle's breast feathers are mostly present, and Liberty's hair is fairly sharp everywhere except right over her ear, wear light wear meets a softer strike. Surfaces are a trifle pale, and given a few modest hairlines, the overall grade is conservatively tilted toward the XF-45 level. (PCGS# 007088)

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: $550.00
High Estimate: $650.00
