Very nice coin. Well struck and looks quite nice for a 62.

ambro51 · April 3, 2009 3:48AM

Yes, I was impressed by the quality of the strike, and the look of the reverse especially.

Yupper that 1853 from last year was the very first gold dollar. A few days after that buy I got my copy of QDBs book and the interest really took hold. One year and a month later I can say honestly I'm stlil 100% as excited with the series. My collecting interest has never been higher....the thrill of the hunt and capture still remains and I look forward to the goal of completion even more now that is looking very possible. And I will also say that sharing this numismatic road trip with my fellow collectors on this forum has made it all the more enjoyable! Thank you one and all!
