I know nothing about $1.00 gold, so I hope someone on here can provide some help..
Is this common for a gold piece?

    Are you talking about the "Longacre Doubling" around the numbers, letters, and other design elements? If so, the answer is yes.

    Thanks Perry Hall...
    I'd never heard of "Longacre Doubling" before today, learn something new everyday..

    Will the grading companys note it on a label?

    it's really cool to bad it's on such a small coin...

    Im pretty sure its common on coins from that period, and note label worthy. Theres mention of it in several books. QDB;s "Collecting & Investing in Rare Coins". IIRC
