Lot Title:

1855-S AU-50 Polished.
|
|
Description:
|
With the inaugural year of issue from this first western mint being so excessively rare, this is the initial year to be truly attainable.

The vast majority went immediately into circulation resulting in a low number extant.
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.
