Lot Title:
|
1811 1 over 0. VF.
|
|
Description:
|
S-286 is characterized by the obvious repunching of a "1" over a pre-existing "0" in the date. Amazingly, no Mint State examples of this Sheldon variety are known to exist, and therefore, even a coin with only VF-35 details has to be considered a high grade. Being struck on soft metal, Classic Heads are notorious for miserable planchet quality, but the present example stands well above average in that respect, featuring memorably smooth fields with just a little corrosion on the reverse. Grade modifiers consist primarily of a handful of small, pointed indentations in the right obverse field, along with a few more irregular bumps along the edge. EAC F-12.
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.
