Can I get an opinion on this, please?

I'm the high bidder at $30, but I don't think I'm going to go any higher. I don't think it's AU, rather maybe XF. After looking at these pics more closely, I'm a little concerned about whether or not it's been cleaned.

Your opinions: AU? Cleaned?

Thanks!!

    With the fingerprint on the obverse, and who knows what's going on with the reverse, I think I'd let the other guy have it for $31

    I've never tried to grade commems, but I would let this one go- the fingerprint kills it...

    Oh, the fingerprint don't bother me. I think it adds character. And besides you probably can't see it very good in person anyways.

    Edit to add....

    The coin actually looks Au- to me and not cleaned, but look around the things are not hard to find nice. In fact just last week I placed a beautiful MS-63 with a customer for 55.00, and I bought it from a dealer myself.

  • You can probably do better at a local show or dealer--paid $20 for mine and it looks similar.

    For the right price, you can never go wrong with a Stone Mt. image

    Coin look to be a legit AU. Don't pay too much for a Stone Mt., though.

    pretty coin, in my opinion.

    i buy only gold coins so i am quite jaded to a 30 dollar purchase.
    is it worth it? I guess not after reading what others are saying.

    I'm not sure this coin is worth a much stronger bid. But I'll give the seller credit for accurately describing this as an AU and not hyping it. It doesn't look cleaned to me; it looks like a solid AU to me.
  • It's OK at $30, but any more I'd wait for a show and spend a bit more for a nice MS coin.
