WHY DOES HE YELL ALL IN CAPS AND SAY IT IS BETTER THEN A 64 WHEN HE ASKS FOR A GRADE? HE SHOULD JUST TELL US WHAT IT GRADES THEN, AND NOT WASTE OUR TIME.
HE DIDNT SAY......he didnt say it was `better than a 64`.....also, lighten up people. its only a `guess the grade` thread or `whats your opinion of this coin` thread. no need to get all up-tight.
You are right. We shouldn't be so harsh on people who can't comprehend that caps are yelling. Hasn't he been here long enough to know already? Doesn't he type in caps a lot?
yes, true that. also goose3 said it whan he said`those are difficult to grade in hand, much less by a pic!` guess though we can call it a 60 something huh?
LittleJohn: If it were me, before I purchased it, I'd ask the seller what those 2 hazy areas are on the reverse of the coin just under the eagles's beak and between the tail and the last "A" in America.
It's hard to tell from the photo whether that's luster reflecting or whether there are some hairlines from either circulation or possibly an abrasive cleaning.
The coin has AU details, but may need to be net-graded down a bit...

I'm no gold expert, and have a tough time with the incuse designs. For what it is worth, I think it's an AU55 due to the appearance of wear around the rims--look on the reverse left either side of the P in PLURIBUS (hey look at that... the die engravers had CAPS LOCK TROUBLE TOO!).
I agree with those above... properly case makes posts easier to read.

WELL, IF IT'S BETTER YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO AHEAD AND GET IT. THAT SOUNDS LIKE A VERY GOOD IDEA. GOOD LUCK TO YOU AND BE SURE AND LET US KNOW HOW IT IS.

its only a `guess the grade` thread or `whats your opinion of this coin` thread.
no need to get all up-tight.
its a raw coin. not been grading.
i said its better than my au 58. not ms64
sorry if i made anyone mad.
littlejohn
Collect Morgans. It will make you happier.
•Too small
•Harshly lit
•and too small
to determine, even haphazardly, a grade for that coin.
Nontheless, I'd say with about 60% certainty that it is MS60 or better, but probably not MS64.
it has the look of an ms coin for sure.

also goose3 said it whan he said`those are difficult to grade in hand, much less by a pic!`

yes the pic. not much good. i sent a email for a better pic.

Perhaps you could compromise and use the "Shift" key when appropriate?
