Lot Title: 1856 CACG MS-64
Lot Number: 363
Description: Although not rare overall as a date, the 1856, like any earlier half-eagle, jumps into the arena of scarcity above lower mint-state grades, and this is an interesting piece for reasons other than just grade. Taken off of strongly clashed dies, the obverse die was nicely lapped while the reverse die still retains a full silhouette of Liberty as well as a forming retained cud above TAT on the reverse. The surface shows a surprising amount of overall abrading for MS-64 but also offers attractive vintage color and velvety luster.

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.
