Without any fanfare, how about some grade guesses on this gold? 1842-D $2.5.
These are not the good photos, but show the field detail the best:

<< <i>My first thought was AU-50. I think the heavy hits at 3 and 7 o'clock on the obverse will knock it down a bit. Still a nice coin though. >>
I can even see a grade as low as 45 being given, although I think the coin is a 50/53 liner myself. I do like the coin.
I know its apples and oranges but I have an 1845 British half sovereign that graded 58 at PCGS that would have to be a 65 if this is a 58.
Well, just Love coins, period.

The OP must not have read the rules when posting a GTG thread. One actually
has to come back and post the TPG's grade :-P

Agree. Dragging it out past 4 days is just plain
