My new piece of gold bullion...

pcgs69 · February 28, 2009 12:56PM

...or at least it was gold bullion 198 years ago. What do you think?

Raufus · February 28, 2009 12:56PM

WOW, fantastic!!!

derryb · February 28, 2009 12:57PM

cool. Is that an imprint of the reverse's "pluribus" just above the date?

adamlaneus · February 28, 2009 12:57PM

Heck of a clash there!

Ruddy cheek?

I like it. I wonder if maybe in ten years or so i'll work up the gonads to buy one?

STONE · February 28, 2009 12:57PM

The clashing is as intense as those seen on CBH's. I don't think I've ever seen it this deep on gold before.

Sweet purchase

BTW - how much over spot did you have to pay

kwmorgan · February 28, 2009 12:59PM

That is an amazing clash just above the date. Very nice.

Amazing!

How typical are those clashes?

Placid · February 28, 2009 1:24PM

I saw that one a about a week ago at DLRC when I was looking for something.
Clash is pretty neat.

I put it on my watch list,said auction ended in 3 days. The next day I went back and the coin just disappeared from their site. Was pretty strange.

Did you buy it from DLRC or someplace else?

best bullion by far I've seen recently

jmski52 · February 28, 2009 2:22PM

I'll trade you a $50 piece of modern bullion for that slightly-used $5 piece of old bullion?

I didn't think so either! Very nice, by the way.

One rare half eagle gold piece you got there with a kool die clash... CONGRATS !!!

BECOKA · February 28, 2009 3:11PM

One of my favorite series that I will never be able to afford.

Fantastic specimen.

The coin is up for auction again at DLRC. Link

Did you decide not to keep it?

RYK · March 7, 2009 12:27PM

Good pass. Looks like some foreign substance on the cheek, probably covering some hits. Also, some haze to the left of the eagle's neck on the reverse.

timber100 · March 7, 2009 1:23PM

Was there a picture or a link in the first post? I do not see the coin

CB2597 · March 7, 2009 1:28PM

what are you guys looking at ? I dont see any pics

pcgs69 · March 7, 2009 1:34PM

Yes, decided to return it. The different coloration on the head and higher points was too much of a distraction. With a little patience, this type is available.

Placid · March 7, 2009 1:44PM

Yes you can find that type at most any of the major auctions.
Never saw one with a clash like that before thou.
If I was just looking for a type coin I would pass on that one also.

Pics for those that asked.

It's only visible to those whose spiritual development is complete.
