1857 AU-55. 1857 AU-55.
Lot Title: 1857 AU-55.
Description: This is a relatively low mintage issue with only 20,891 pieces struck. Both the obverse and reverse surfaces are lightly reflective, having a good amount of luster intact. Only a trivial number of hairlines appear on its warm yellow-orange aspect. The feathers, and their corresponding plumes on the bonnet, as well as the detailing in the reverse's agricultural wreath, are bold for this 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.

Low Estimate: $1,200.00
High Estimate: $1,400.00
Lot Status: Bidding has been closed for this lot.
Hammered Price: $1,150.00

1857 PCGS AU-58.
Interesting die-polish lines sweep diagonally from northwest to southeast across the obverse, and inflect the cartwheels with meandering action, while horizontal die-polish affects the reverse in...

1857 AU details/cleaned.
Scant signs of hairlines are visible mostly on the reverse, although quite a bit of luster remains, indicative of a moderate cleaning. 1857 is one of the common dates in the three-dollar gold series,...

1857 ANACS AU-55 Details, Altered Surfaces.
Some sort of weird surface alteration, probably involving extreme heat, was applied in an attempt to remove two deep scratches in the left obverse field. The net result is a coin that is extremely...

1857 NGC MS-61.
A wonderfully lustrous example of an issue that is quite elusive in Mint State. Opulent orange-gold coloration permeates from its satinlike surfaces. Evidence of die clashing is perceived on its...
