This is the first gold coin I've purchased and it's a beauty! PCGS AG03. I purchased on Ebay from forum member Colorfulcoins. Thanks Craig!

    I like it because it has character.

    LOTS of character.

    Too bad it doesn't also have a hole at the top. image

    Wow! That gold AG looks a whole lot better than that silver AG.

    Nice, Casey. If that $5 gold piece could talk....what a story it could tell (some parts could even be X-rated!).

    Too cool, man....

    Dave obviously has a more vivid imagination than I do. imageimage

    Well, the ladies did have to store the coins someplace where they'd be hard to steal. imageimage

    Still, nice coin. Then again, basically any gold coin looks good to me. Got to love that dense, yellow, untarnished metal.

    Heck it is harder to find some of the real low grade stuff without damage
    than it is to get AU50-MS64!

    Nice coin.

    I really like it! Too often everyone is concerned with pop tops, registries, etc., etc. It's nice to see a coin with some character.

    I sure wish you all would stop posting pics of gold and take it out of your signatures. Now I want one... or two... or....image

    With that coin I would sit back & ponder it's "life". I'd be thinking about where it was minted, the old bank it was probably first sent into
    circulation from, the seedy saloons & brothels it was spent in, etc. And besides being transported by walking, it must have spent some
    time on horseback or stage coaches, and then America's first automobiles. That coin's circulated condition tells that it certainly did have
    a life & did not spend all it's time in a collection! Very enjoyable to see!!
