The United States Mint has produced ten different denominations of gold coins throughout its history. These denominations are:

$1

$2.50

$3

$4

$5

$10

$20

$25

$50

$100

....................................
Next year it appears there will be a new denomination added, the $125 gold coin. So there will be eleven denominations in gold for collectors in the future to choose from.

$125

A “125” unit for a “250 year” event makes no sense. I wonder if they are planning to do a “250” Ounce?

Having it in hand, what do you grade it?

Great question and one that I cannot answer with much certainty so for now I'll go with the label. It's a new series of nuances for me. Taking back from the responses and my now closer look I can tell you that it has cartwheel luster but not the kind of frosty skin akin to a 67 so I'm not yet sure where the line falls between AU/MS.

I just took this pick w/o any tweaking of the lights, what say you?

The obverse looks 62, shot 58. The reverse is hard to see.😉

My bad.

Now I can see 58.

Having it in hand, what do you grade it?

The other gentleman in this picture is Walter Husak, one of the greatest collectors of early American copper of all time.

It's an amazing looking coin, but I already knew about the sale so it would not be fair for me to "guess".

That's Siiick!!

Back to the original topic… I’d have a nearly impossible time naming a favorite numismatist. And that would even be if I were allowed to name one who was/is a dealer as well as one who was/is a collector.

Not Max Mehl???

Bank coin counting machine:

(12) 40% halfs

(7) clad halfs

Other miscellaneous coins, including a Canadian $2 coin.

Roughly $60 worth of coins for a few seconds of lost dignity.
