Lot Title:
|
1920-S AU-50+.
|
|
Description:
|
This specimen displays a good deal of luster within the shielded portions of its design elements. Exquisite peripheral crimson and blue toning frames its central satiny surface quality. Lightly marked and delicately hairlined, it exhibits a mintmark which quite possibly could have been from a defective punch. The detailing portrayed on its central motifs is typical as struck.
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.

1920-S AU.

Very decent luster defies the disadvantage of having been struck at a branch mint in the early 1920s, though the level of detail is as expected from a coin of that era with mild wear. Liberty's hand... |

1920-S PCGS MS-63.

|
Pronounced mulberry-grey patina enriches both sides, but probably subdues the luster to an extent. Strike quality is decent for a branch mint coin of the 1920s, and most abrasions are predictably... |

1920-S NGC MS-64.

|
1920-S becomes an expensive semi-key date in grades above MS-64, making that grade level an attractive alternative for the collector whose funds are not unlimited. Delicate silver-pearl patina... |
