1852 "900" $50 U.S. Assay Office AU details in a Capital Plastics holder

Lot Title:	1852 "900" $50 U.S. Assay Office AU details in a Capital Plastics holder
Lot Number:	299
Description:	Morals And Liberty Collection. Kagin-14 (R.5+). Cataloger's grade represents DETAILS ONLY: AU. The coin has never been removed from its current Capital Plastics holder and we respect the wishes of the consignor to leave it so. Through the plastic, this massive production appears to be generally free from edge nicks and corner dings that tend to plague the series. Further, a tremendous strike exceeds expectations as it reached peripheral lettering often missed by even high-grade mint-state examples. All four digits in the date stand out clearly, and the final "A" in CALIFORNIA is strong as are all the letters nearest the corners. The eight points are where the most metal flow must occur, hence details tend to be weakest there.

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.
