Lot Title:	1885 and 1886, both Proof/as described
Lot Number:	719
Description:	The Quantum Collection. By any measure an extremely unusual and aggressive pairing of Liberty nickels, both of these are obviously premier key dates in circulation strike format, but they are also very popular as proofs. 1885 (PR-60/environmental damage) shows evidence of multi-angle wiping on the obverse, and the presence of some shallow corroded areas helps explain the attempt to help out with the surface quality. 1886 (PR-62) has escaped most of the environmental effects of its companion, and displays an intriguing, prominent lint mark on the chin. Two 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.
