Lot Title:
|
1783 Washington "Unity States" Cent. Baker-1, Breen-1188, Vlack-27-W, R-1. VF-20.
|
Description:
|
Because the reverse design of this popular Washington piece approximates that of a 1794 Large Cent, it is obvious that the issue was struck subsequent to 1783. The intentionally placed striations discerned on the reverse were part of the planchet preparation. The purpose of this crafty alteration procedure was to ease its acceptance into the channels of commerce. This particular specimen has an appealing chocolate brown aspect. The planchet is smooth and unimpaired, and the design elements are distinct for this assigned 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.
