Wanna toss your 2 cents in on some $20 Gold?

LotsoLuck

Found this in Coinstar today and know nothing about gold. It does have some luster that doesnt appear in my most excellent photography. Gimme your shots at a grade, opinions. Would ya wrap it in plastic?
Thanks


I'm kiddin' about the Coinstar

Placid

I think the scratch in front of the eye might keep it out of a regular pcgs holder.
Over all its not a bad coin probably grade 55-58 without counting that scratch.

If not fake the it's 90% Au. Common date. XF-40. Value $1000.

Weights? Dims?

What do you mean you "found it" in Coinstar? Isn't Coinstar that pocket change counting machine (-10% or something)?

I might put it plastic as bullion. A gennie holder would be fine. That way when you go to sell it, there will be no dickering over "is it real?"

A coin like this, where it's hard to hurt the grade with typical careful handling?

I'd like it raw, so that I can feel the weight of the coin and see it without the plastic case.

I'd guess a grade of XF45.

But...I don't have a single liberty double eagle. So I'm not really qualified for Guess The Grade.

AU55... May not grade due to scratch/hit on Liberty's nose & field.

Thanks for the input guys. I weighed it at 34 grams and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Say it aint true, I picked this and some other gold up today from a sweet little old lady.

Agree with AU55 but I've seen bigger marks on double eagles that are housed in top tier slabs.

I'll say AU55, or possibly AU53 considering the scratch (if it is not bodybagged)
