Lot Title:	1896-S AU
Lot Number:	652
Description:	Cataloger's grade: [AU-55]. Typical of a better AU coin, the reverse features better-preserve luster than the obverse while light finger friction the fields either side of Liberty's portrait bear witness to brief circulation. What appear to be vertical hairlines on the reverse prove to be die polish upon closer inspection. Nicely free from abrasions for a lightly circulated silver dollar. Eye-appeal here takes full advantage of lovely vintage orange-gold patina over splendid cartwheel energy. A few small bagmarks stray above Liberty's outstretched arm, joined by a sprinkle of abrasions on the reverse.
PCGS #:	7244

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.
