Lot Title:
|
1853 AU.
|
Description:
|
Mintage: 135,000. A very popular issue in the half-dime series, the 1853 "no arrows" marks the transition during the same date that the new coins of reduced weight began to be struck (showing arrows next to the date). It's quite possible that this example garners UNC consideration today, as the violet-grey luster penetrates entire through the fields and reaches all the way toward the outlines of the major central design elements. However, there may be just enough muted friction on the highest relief areas to warrant limitation to the AU level. (PCGS# 004351)
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.
