Lot Title: 1852 887 $50 NGC AU-55
Lot Number: 741
Description: Gavin "John" Rose Collection. As any collector of large gold coins knows, rims and edges are always prone to contact, and especially for a coin with "points", the odds of escaping contact are virtually none. Indeed, this example shows some light contact at every single point, but the effect may be slightly exaggerated, oddly enough, by the encapsulation, as it outlines and shadows the edges. Given that the coin actually saw circulation (as indicated by the NGC AU-55 grade), the effects of contact are understandable and certainly expected. The central portion of the machined design on the reverse shows the most evidence of wear, such that it is, while the obverse really shows scarcely any wear at all, with evidence of such taking the form of slightly contact marks, a handful of them tiny, dull points scattered randomly about the eagle's head.
