Collection of two-cent pieces and three-cent nickels in a Whitman 9436 album

Lot Title:	Collection of two-cent pieces and three-cent nickels in a Whitman 9436 album
Lot Number:	846
Description:	Blackjack Can Collection. Collector appeal: "incomplete", as this collection consists of a complete set of circulation-strike 2-cent coins, and a partial collection of 3-cent nickels, yet no 3-cent silver pieces at all. Inaugurating the group, the key 1872 2-cent that NGC grades VF-30 (although "WE" is very faint) makes a strong first impression. A non-certified 1864 "small motto" will grade VG-8 with perfect surfaces, and others should grade between VG and Fine. 3-cent nickels include some better dates, such as 1879 (Fine), 1880 (Fine), 1882 (Fine), 1883 (Fine+), 1887 (Fine+), 1888 (VG), and 1889 (Fine/cleaned/damaged). Plenty of suitable material within this outstanding album!

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.
