Lot Title: 1799 Small Stars. XF Details, Heat and Rim Damage.
Description: This is the so-called “irregular date,” Breen-6840. Disregarding a couple of tiny rim cuds that are as struck, there are a couple of dings that have lightly impacted the rims of this predominantly mustard yellow early gold piece. Additionally, the coin appears to have been subjected to some sort of surface alteration, possibly heat induced, that has left residual navy blue toning around the lettering and devices, and some dirt deposits remain embedded around some stars and numerals in the date.

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: $8,000.00
