Lot Title:
|
1799 Large Cent.
|
|
Description:
|
As any date other than 1799, one might quickly dismiss this coin for cosmetic reasons, but needless to say, an exception must be made for the rarest of all United States cents! A disagreeable rim issue on the right side defies explanation, and the surfaces are grainy in texture, yet the color is a nice, medium brown. By contrast with Liberty's indistinct portrait, the date is full and sharp. While the portrait shows the detail of a Fine, absence of detail on the reverse implies an About Good level. Despite the unusual character of this rarity, expect to see spirited competition for its acquisition.
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.
