Lot Title:	Five Shield nickels
Lot Number:	736
Description:	Gigi Consignment. The presence of some really nice proof examples might make the estimated bid range seem a little conservative. Included are: 1879 (Ch Proof, apparently the Breen "doubled date" variety which has all digits plainly recut left, but shelf-doubled right as is the lower part of the shield), 1880 (Ch Proof, possibly a bit nicer with a deft touch of obverse cameo against a reverse with somewhat less contrast), 1881 (Proof, probably only select or so due to olive stains on the highpoints and some spotty luster), 1882 (BU, frosty brilliance with plenty of interesting die cracks, and very possibly a choice example), and 1883 (UNC, but some delicate rust spots here and there). Five 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.
