Its got a mintage of 1000, its gold and its a classic and its graded 65 by ICG.

I paid $300 for it recently at Goldberg auction.

    Heavy die polishing lines are often found on these. However, I have seen a lot of these that were also cleaned, so I guess it depends if the lines are raised image
  • Based on the picture, I can't tell if it is cleaned or not.

    I looked at the coin, definitley die polishing.

    Here are a couple others purchased out of a collection from the same auction ( all around the same price, I still cannot believe these are so cheap) with evidence of die polish.

    Sounds and looks like you got a bargain.
    Nice coin congrats image
  • One thing about die polish over cleaning is the lines appear to go under the areas in relief with die polish. With cleaning you can very often see a small area between the hairlines and the relief that still has luster and no hairlines.

    Nice looking coin by the way
