Eight Capped Bust half-dollar, all NGC VF detail

Lot Title:	Eight Capped Bust half-dollar, all NGC VF detail
Lot Number:	683
Description:	Blackjack Can Collection. NGC insists that each member of this bust half-dollar octet has problems that attenuate the VF-details sharpness assessment. The consignor spent good money on attributions as well, so these are so-listed as follows: 1808/7 O-101 (whizzed, but only lightly so), 1811/10 O-101 (scratches, obverse far right and beneath the eagle's chin), 181.7 O-103 (cleaned, dull grey but not ugly), 1817 O-103a (cleaned, rather thickly hairlined), 1817 O-111a (cleaned, definitely too bright), 1820/19 square 2 O-101 (cleaned, very dull and curiously smoothed), 1828 O-115 (harshly cleaned, actually polished and retoned and also shows a number of small gouges), and 1829/7 (cleaned, but not badly at all and almost passes as original). Problems, yes, but also some nicer die-marriages in this eight 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.
