Lot Title: 1803 Small Date, Large Fraction. SEGS XF-45 details/cleaned/questionable color.
Description: SEGS indicates an "old cleaning" to accompany XF-45 details, although we consider details to be more on par with the commercial VF-30 level, since there really isn't quite enough delineation between the hair and Liberty's brown to accommodate the higher grade. However, the coin certainly has seen a cleaning at some point, with color restored to a passable greenish-brown that certainly looks better than cherry-red on cent with this much wear! Both sides display just normal, scattered tiny contact marks/ (PCGS# 001485)

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.
