I don't know about that. I don't think that picture does that coin justice. Looks like it would be much nicer in hand...MY HAND!!!

Here’s a little better shot showing more luster — it has some sparkle. But yes if it had some 82-S Morgan bowl luster on it then it would indeed be great. 🤓
Love it! Please treat her well. The early 1900s have some really attractive pieces.
I submitted my MS61 rattler that people on the internet said was UNC details. But I guess it is PCGS MS64. Not gonna argue with them; they are the professionals, after all.
This 1901-S $5 OGH has great luster and color but has a little "was in a bag of other gold coins" going on.

I really like the OP gold coin... has luster and looks great. Then I got to enjoy all the rest of the gold in this thread... Yes, I am an confirmed gold bug, and make no apologies.... Cheers, RickO

I just CAN'T get enough of crusty old gold. Heck, I'll take ANY pre-1933 gold!

Widget? Looks like a very nice coin.
Looks clean with nice surfaces
Attractive coin, which looks high end for the grade. Good snag!
Widget just meaning common date/mint, not intrinsically rare. But yes it is a nice coin thank you.

Outside, everything is silver-white and icy cold. Nice to see some old warm gold.
Nice looking pickup! Love the rattler.
