    Not sure, my first foray into Classics. Edit, I know they made a script and block 8 on the 36 QE.

    Nice early U.S. gold. Looks to have a little luster remaining in the protected devices.

    I'm a little confused by the images, because the topmost seems to have very little frost and the other three seem overlit., especially on Liberty's portrait. I find myself averaging it all out to really liking its strike, relative lack of marks and originality. Beanable. Always liked this design :D

    Top image is the seller’s lousy photo, and the others are my lousy photos. Nice looking coin in hand. Thanks.

    Lots of luster and looks like it may be under graded to me. I like it a lot.

    Very nice. Sometimes it difficult to resist having a breakdown. Enjoy.
