This one just came in today's mail. Let me know your thoughts and guess the grade if you like. It's my only gold right now.

It's seen more than one business transaction, so there goes the AU status
You make it tough buying these. NGC might say 45, but there is no way PCGS graders are going to let that one ever get past EF40. Even so, being as picky as I am :
VF35 , but knowing PCGS, MS 61

if you got a 58 you got a nice gift
If it were in an NGC holder it would be an MS-62.
I hate to write that, but of late that's how it seems to be going at NGC.
P.S. the weakness on MS. liberty's forehead is due to strike. I do see a rub in the fields, however. That's why I'm calling it a high end AU.
the luster is there for auWHATEVER.. as in 58..
but ms61.hm.
did not know the philly mint did quarters so soft struck.
<< <i>Looks like I overpaid, again
If you like the coin you didn't overpay... And like some have said... If that coin could only talk... I would listen to it for hours.
But I am amazed at the grade... Was the strike really that weak for that year... I have never see a coin with so many flat spots get an MS before.
