Lot Title:

1883, as described.
|
|
Description:
|
Marshmallow Collection. Ascertaining status as a proof or circulation strike may prove challenging, as the "altered surface" indicated by the enclosed NGC slab insert seems to emphasize a mirrored appearance as would be expected on a specimen. However, collectors of the series know that the circulation examples struck for 1883 often look more like proofs than actual proof strikings! The reverse features considerable cameo effect despite hazy beige toning, while the obverse appears free from any kind of patina. (PCGS# 006365)
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.

1883 NGC AU-50.

Many collectors find the Philadelphia half-dollars of 1879 through 1890 irresistible due to the absurdly low mintages, 1883 showing production of only 8000 pieces. Extremely original pearl-grey... |

1883 AU-55 PL Cleaned Scratched.

It shows rainbow peripheral toning, a strong strike, reflective fields, and original mint luster. It has also been cleaned and has a scratch on the obverse. The pros in this case outweigh the cons 4... |
