Here is my latest — a scarce coin and a conditional rarity. PCGS has graded two others at MS63 plus and only four higher — none above MS65. It’s a barn burner for me. Hope you enjoy!

Wow!
Between the two of us we account for two thirds of the PCGS MS63+ population!:
Unless, of course, the "Fairmont Collection"/hoard contains more of these . . .
Very nice gold coin.... The only thing that bothers me about graded gold, is I really like to be able to hold the coin in hand - raw. Don't get me wrong... I have many slabbed gold coins... Just something about holding that coin in hand... I know, can't have it both ways. (Well, I can hold my stack gold coins - so, both ways.) Cheers, RickO
@ricko I feel the same way so I contacted my most trusted dealer and bought a couple raw lower MS coins in each denomination. Holding a couple raw $20's and a few $5's and $10s takes you back to the 1800's.
