Lot Title:

1800 JR-1. XF Details, Graffiti, Net VF.
|
|
Description:
|
What seems to be a reasonably original appearance is unfortunately marred by the presence of graffiti right in the center of the obverse of this early bust dime. The letter “W” has been rather rudely etched onto Liberty’s throat, although the damage is not deeply cut into the coin. Otherwise, this is a nicely detailed piece, with definition that may actually exceed the XF level overall. In contrast to the obverse, the reverse is highly attractive and problem free. Obviously, a coin like this presents an opportunity for the right buyer, as the amount of detail extant is considerable given our conservative net 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.

In the big scheme of all things numismatic, lightly abraded surfaces have sustained essentially no important detrimental effect for this 1800 dime, since it is safe to assume that any silver coin of... |
