Lot 1236
1855-S $3 Gold. Sharpness of VF-20 but cleaned and polished. The surfaces have been stripped and then polished, perhaps to make coin appear to be a higher grade. There are light marks hidden in the dentils above UNI, file marks on the reverse rim on the left side, a scratch or two on either side. After looking carefully, this coin may have been mounted as the various points of damage may be bezel points where this coin was used as jewelry. Careful inspection is mandatory, as this is a rare date (mintage: 6,600), that will sell for much less than an undamaged example.
