1850 XF-40. 1850 XF-40.
Lot Title: 1850 XF-40.
Description: An example from the second year of issue for this large denomination. Although it is a lightly cleaned, ex-jewelry mounted piece, the fact that it is the first obtainable year for this standardized unit secures its popularity among collectors. A sprinkling of ticks are noted on its pale yellow-gold surfaces. The amount of wear is commensurate for the grade.

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: $575.00
High Estimate: $650.00

1850 NGC XF-45.
There being only a single 1849 in existence (in the Smithsonian Collection), 1850 is the date of choice as a type representative of “no motto” reverse double eagle. The present example, while not...
