does no one like GOLD?

SeattleSlammer

I like its look. No idea on grade but

OnlyGoldIsMoney

Ok, I'll bite. NGC called it MS62.

mcarney1173

Thanks for the response, but I think everyone will be shocked with the grade. It is very PQ for it's grade...

au55+, Looks like dirt in the crevices and some wear on the the high points.

adamlaneus

I agree. A very nice 55.

au55+


is that a candidate for the secure plus or just a nice 55?

Evaluating a coin for Secure Plus:

Look at the price sheet. For this coin, look at the difference between a 55 and a 58. Are you seeing a giant jump? Is the coin terribly valuable and subject to the crackout game?
Naw; my answer would be to leave it as is.

I'm in the AU55 group, as well.

lkeigwin

Very pretty. AU58?

MS-63?

PerryHall

I see hairlines and friction in the fields so it looks lightly circulated. Appears to be a nice, original AU58 based on your pics.

RedHerring

Nice piece. As far as the Secure Plus question: Unless it's an honest MS, and it doesn't appear to be, there is no big advantage going for a "+".

58

I'll guess NGC put it in an MS61 holder.

If it went PCGS, I'd predict AU58 plus a '+' plus a green CAC sticker.

AU55/45.

i am right in there also. Def AU but I found the rev to be a bit lower.
maybe not a 45.. but low AU.

Net it to a 53-55.

divecchia

I will guess a 53...

it's a bit higher than most have said so far

That appears to conflict with "but I think everyone will be shocked with the grade. It is very PQ for it's grade"

maybe the grade won't be "shocking" but not as many people got it right as I would have thought. This cost me $325.00 Here's the results:


1 53
4 AU55
4 AU58
1 MS62
1 MS63
