Lot Title:
|
1808 C-3 Normal Date. VF-35.
|
|
Description:
|
This is a very attractive example of a scarce date in the half cent series. The color is a decent light brown. The reverse has a very small degree of roughness that does not detract from the appearance of this copper. All details are full and sharp. The rims have a couple of microscopic abrasions, but the surfaces have not a mark worth mentioning.
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.
