Lot Title: 1831 (O-103) AU.
Description: Ronald Zink Early Type Collection. Extensive luster practically runs right through the fields and will suggest an even higher grade to many potential bidders. Flashy and fairly bright, this ought to be a lock for AU-50 or better. A really nice, sparkling jewel. (PCGS# 006159)

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.

1831 (O-102) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. AU-50 should be the perfect assessment for pleasing steam-grey patina over just-lustrous fields. Sharp detail prevails, and each side appears to be almost...

1831 (O-111) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Barely-perceptible hairlines do flash into view here and there, but the good, strong luster overcomes most of their adverse effect. Pastel orange-grey and bluish...
699The Collectors' Auction - 2014 on 10/17/2014$1,650.00
1831 (O-119) AU.
Courteous Collection of Early Type. Hands-down, this astoundingly sharp gem is one of the nicest half-dollars in the consignment, and at some point, it is going to get into an MS-62 holder, despite...
820The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/26/2013$425.00
1831 (O-111), 1834 (O-105), and 1836 (O-120), all XF or better.
Apple Peel Collection. Substantial luster emanates from this well detailed trio of different dates, and none has any obvious problems. They list quickly as: 1831 O-111 (XF-45), 1834 O-105 (AU-53,...
550The Midwest Summer Sale 2010 on 07/23/2010$2,800.00
1831 (O-110, R.2) NGC MS-64.
An astonishing level of white brightness beams outward from each side, gleaming with brilliance more akin to a Morgan dollar than a bust half-dollar. Indeed, it is a miracle that a silver coin of...
417The Collectors' Auction 2009 on 10/16/2009$575.00
1831 (O-102) PCGS AU-58.
Odds are that this marvelous bust half could get into a "mint state" slab given appropriate submission conditions, as the coin simply looks the same as many certified MS-61 examples. Muted rub on the...
760The Midwest Summer Sale on 07/24/2009$1,050.00
1831 NGC AU-58 Insert, Jules Reiver.
CONSIGNOR: It does look unc, doesn't it? I think this is my favorite Reiver half, just clean, smooth, full of luster. Sure can't find them like this. Scotsman needs to get me a really good image of...
493The Collectors' Auction 2008 on 10/17/2008$1,150.00
1831 (O-103, R.1) NGC MS-61.
Intense underlying brightness filters through a gossamer layer of silky, misty patina. Booming luster illuminates the entire coin from side to side and border to border. It is difficult to ascertain...
592The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$220.00
1831 O-109 PCGS AU-50.
Rather dark tonal quality is typical of a coin that has seen high sulphur content. Indeed, the luster is probably muted a bit by the patination, but the strike and quality smack as that of a higher...
593The Collectors' Auction 2007 on 10/19/2007$190.00
1831 O-101 NGC AU-53.
Although not wildly toned or overindulgent in ravishing mint luster, this 1831 half dollar offers placid neutral grey originality that will please the connoisseur who enjoys choice, original quality...

1831 PCGS AU-55 and 1832 "small letters" O-122 PCGS XF-45 .
Both sides of the 1831 are encompassed by rather plain, dusky toning that cedes to lighter tan color in areas, particularly the left obverse field. The reverse is sharp. Coloration of the 1832 is a...
587The Midwest Summer Sale 2007 on 07/27/2007$475.00
1831 O-103, R-I. ICG AU-58.
This "open mouth" variety displays just the slightest hint of wear on its highest design detailing. A splendid russet-gold envelopes its silver-gray aspect. An insignificant number of ticks and...
1430The Midwest Summer Sale 2006 on 07/21/2006$500.00
1831 O-116, R-3. MS-61+.
Stunning lustrous surfaces radiate enhancing magenta toning. A meager number of ticks and hairlines are blanketed from the naked eye by its magnificent color. An amply struck issue.

1831 O-116, R-3 ANACS MS-62.
