Lot Title:	Partial collections of Shield, Liberty, and Buffalo nickels in a Wayte Raymond album
Lot Number:	815
Description:	Blackjack Can Collection. Collector appeal: A for variety and selection at the VG to Fine grade level. An astonishing run of 5-cent nickels adequately represents the Shield, Liberty and Buffalo types with a handful of pieces (1877, 1878, 1879, 1880, and 1937-D 3-legged) lacking representation. A few highlights include: 1885 (G-7, and oh-so-close to VG), 1886 (VG-8+), 1912-S (Fine, and very easily a full LIBERTY), 1913-D type-2 (VF, slight surface roughness), 1913-S type-2 (Fine), 1914-D (VG+), and 1921-S (VG). It's tough to imagine a better jump start on an esteemed collection than this, as very little is required to bring this astonishing run to completion.

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.
