Scotsman Midwest Summer Sale scheduled for July 27
- Published: Jul 17, 2012, 8 PM
Scotsman Auction Co. will be conducting its Midwest Summer Sale July 27 in a suburb of St. Louis.
One of the auction highlights is Lot 868, an 1864 Indian Head gold $3 coin, graded Proof 64 Star Ultra Cameo by Numismatic Guaranty Corp., with a green sticker from Certified Acceptance Corp. The lot description states, “Fancy words and flowery description are not required to convey the instant emotional response regarding the appeal of this coin: it immediately qualifies for the Scotsman Cataloger’s Choice Award. The award is handed out to coins based purely on their aesthetic merits, with total disregard as to value or grade, but the astounding visual impact of this stunning jewel cannot be overstated.” The Civil War issue carries an estimate of $45,000 to $50,000 and the cataloger notes that NGC has not graded a finer Ultra Cameo of this issue.
Another highlight is Lot 524, a 1901-S Barber quarter dollar, graded Very Good 8 by Professional Coin Grading Service, also carrying a green CAC sticker. The description notes, “Considering how much this famous key-date circulated, there are no marks of note, making for superior quality that warrants the CAC sticker.” The 1901-S coin is the key of the Barber quarter dollar series with a low mintage of just 72,664 pieces. The lot carries an estimate of $8,500 to $9,750.
