Lot Title:	1896-O AU
Lot Number:	796
Description:	The Supernova Collection. Cataloger's grade: [AU-58+]. Even with a dislike of "plus" grading overall, the nomenclature fits in today's environment as this coin looks every bit of MS-63. Full frosty luster swirls through the obverse fields and completely dominates the reverse. Touch friction only on the cheek and the lowest left corner of the portrait are the true arbiters of the correct grade. A coin destined for immediate certification.

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.
