This is MY kind of gold...

I absolutely love the early stuff.

It has toning... now RickO is going to enter the thread and make a comment about the tarnish. You KNOW you need to place an ROTTEN rating on any thread with toning! (ROTTEN=RickOTarnishThreadEmergencyNotice)

I do too but I doubt it will ever be mine short of winning the lotto

Nice! Very Nice! Clearly it's not just your kind of gold, or it wouldn't be worth what it is.

I agree Chris. That my dream coin.

I love this design as well. But it seems difficult to find examples that haven't been messed with, even in problem free holders. This example is truly choice though.

And the price is not in the "if I won the lottery" range.

Just got to work an extra day or two

I love those. I have only ever had the smaller ones:

That looks like the coin recently put up on the CRO website.

I have a 1799 eagle, but it's a nice AU, and it's not as nice as the one that started this thread. I've owned it for a long time. This is picture I took before it went off to PCGS to become an AU-55

I picked mine up last summer at the ANA

There are some seriously nice coins in this thread.
Boiler - that is almost make believe ... it is sooo awesome.

Sweet!

ChrisRx · January 13, 2011 3:33PM

WOW! Nice early EAGLES!!

Early, schmearly. That's positively "modern crap".

This is MY kind of gold.

Seriously, tho' if you're talkin' Liteside gold, then yeah, I gotta agree with you. That coin in the OP would be right up my alley. (If not my budget).

I'd like a scrawnier eagle with a wreath in his mouth, though.
