Lot Title:

1870-S XF-45.
|
|
Description:
|
This date is notable for being the only year in which branch mint gold dollars were struck after 1861. Also, this issue has the lowest recorded mintage, 3000, from the San Francisco Branch Mint. This pale yellow-gold specimen exhibits minimal contact marks and some randomly scattered hairlines. The mintmark is small and shows evidence of repunching. Typically worn for the assigned grade, with slight weakness exhibited on some of the letters of "DOLLAR".
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.

1870-S is a low mintage (3000) issue from a date when total San Francisco production was very low for physically small coins. It seldom seems to appear at auction, and almost never on price lists. ... |
