1882 G$10 piece arrived (pics and video)

Azurescens

Hey guys. My 1882 G$10 Liberty arrived and I promised I'd bring pics.

She's a little more beat up than I expected but there's nothing that really stands out to me as terrible, and none of this is a surprise.

There's some carbon spots on the design and it's definitely a gold coin from the 1880s lol.

All in all, I'm real happy with it, and I'm glad I got it. I don't think I'll find a much nicer raw one any time soon.

I hadn't really slept when I first posted this and made a mistake. I paid $1150, not melt, for this piece which was originally listed for $1350 BIN/OBO. I'm happy with it where I'm at and I'm sure I'd feel different if I paid full price.

I also included the original listing photos so collectors here can compare the difference lighting makes when revealing surfaces, details and damage.

Also a video if you wanna see some of the luster.

Guess MS61

To me, it looks to be at least a 62, or 63, and carbon spots never bothered me and are an indicia of authenticity.

It looks MS62 to me, too. An NGC MS62 was auctioned for $1,140 earlier this month.

Looking at your pictures, I thought it would grade MS62, then looked at the video and thought maybe 63.... Then looked back at the pictures and settled on 62....Cheers, RickO

That is why I always buy graded gold. For me it is not worth the risk of Details grade. If raw and graded are the same price, I take graded.
