Lot Title:	1887 F-12 and 1889 VF-20.
Description:	Both of these difficult three-cent nickels--rare in the case of the 1887--are strictly original coins with bold detail and particularly strong dates. For the 1887, a lengthy, narrow, and natural planchet flaw lies diagonally across much of Liberty’s portrait and is accounted for in our grade. The 1889 has a wispy and rather shallow old staple scratch that travels along much of the obverse and which is accounted for in the grade. Two coin lot. 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.
