Circa 1850 Thomas Wyatt New England 6 pence copy W-14010 NGC MS-63

Lot Title:	Circa 1850 Thomas Wyatt New England 6 pence copy W-14010 NGC MS-63
Lot Number:	347
Description:	Produced circa 1850, W-14010, low R.7, Wyatt copy in silver. While a genuine New England sixpence is valued beyond the means of most collectors, the famous Wyatt copies are valuable in their own right (Some online sources incorrectly state that the Wyatt copies have little value.) Dies for the copies appear to have been based on printed illustrations of the coins, rather than the genuine coins themselves, and are struck off of heavily striated dies. Infamously, the striations seem to have been copied from hand-drawn pictures that used these same lines to dictate blank areas of the design!
Estimate:	$3,500-$3,700

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, CACG, 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.
