1872 AU details/cleaned. 1872 AU details/cleaned.
Lot Title: 1872 AU details/cleaned.
Description: Clem Stevens Collection. Exceedingly white due to cleaning, as one might very well guess since it doesn't seem feasible for silver of this age to remain circulated yet untoned. Further, a considerable number of tiny abrasions litter the surface, though perhaps some underlying reflectivity unfairly magnifies their effect. Very well struck and close to UNC details despite our conservative estimate. (PCGS# 006968)

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: $700.00

728The Midwest Summer Sale 2014 on 07/18/2014$875.00
1872 NGC AU-55.
It isn't easy to imagine a nicer AU-55 type representative for the Seated dollar series if one appreciates coins with vintage eye-appeal. Luster remains bold beneath a moderate layer of...
906The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$550.00
1872 AU.
Natural Classic's Collection. Rather sharp overall, with Liberty's facial details and the eagle's plumage brought up in outstanding relief. Some minor rim ticks require mention, but they do not...
582The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$500.00
1872 PCGS Genuine.
The Genuine-91 code ("questionable color") calls to attention the peculiarly dark and odd looking patina that drapes both sides. It isn't so much that the hue is unusual, since many original coins...
583The Collectors' Auction 2010 on 10/15/2010$900.00
1872 AU.
An ANACS photo-certificate describes this as being a genuine 1872 dollar that grades AU-50/AU-50. It would be easy by current standards to guess a higher grade, since a considerable portion of the...
516The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$310.00
1872 VF.
Pale grey surfaces are accented on the highpoints with a touch more patina, and the details are bold overall. LIBERTY on the shield is weak at the center letters, but all the lines in the shield are...
517The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$750.00
1872 PF-55.
Circulation (as opposed to cleaning) has imparted just a hazy patch of hairlining to each of the obverse fields, while the reverse is nearly untainted by handling and displays handsome cameo contrast....
847The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$340.00
1872 PCGS VF-35.
Appealing iron-grey patina exudes original quality, and this large coin benefits from a lack of major abrasions. Indeed, if not for a weak LIBERTY on the shield, full XF consideration might be...
848The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$360.00
1872 XF/cleaned.
Suitable for the type collector seeking coins on a budget, since the cleaning is actually fairly mild and has not terribly hairlined the surfaces. Given ample time, this dollar should retone to a...
681The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$290.00
1872 XF-40.
The toning pattern suggests that this coin may have been stored in crumpled paper or a similar environment for a long period of time. An erratic array of blue-grey accents are dashed across both...
521The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$370.00
1872 XF-45.
This example has a steel gray aspect with a golden russet tinge. A sprinkling of marks and faint scratches are consistent for the grade level of this nicely defined type issue.
522The Collector's Auction on 10/20/2006$380.00
1872 AU-50.
An example of a popular design type that is essentially untoned and displays robust details for this assigned grade. Apparently it had been subjected to a light cleaning. The observed surface marks...
