Thoughts... Coin is darker than the images.
Reverse is rotated 120 degrees counter clockwise.

    I'm with the Captain on this one as even though they come softly struck the rub is too much for an AU.

    IMO, that's an XF obverse and an AU reverse. But, my opinion doesn't matter compared to PCGS & CAC image

    Either way, I like the piece!

    It's not easy to grade from a photograph, but here is an AU53 from CoinFacts, Boosibri's AU50, and an XF45 from CoinFacts, for comparison purposes.

    Very nice and historic coin but I have to agree that AU is a very optimistic grade.

    By today's standards, yes.

    When I was a kid attending the Syracuse Stamp & Coin Bourse in 1971, it would have been offered in a stapled 2x2 on which was scrawled "Gem BU" (like nearly every coin in the room).

    Totally agree. It's a very attractive and historic coin and the technical grade is a secondary consideration.

    Perhaps some forgiveness for wholesomeness.image Perhaps another contributing factor; increased demand as more specialists in this area have exercised their muscles.

    Territorials are screwed with as much as Southern gold.image

    Discount detail on this and others across broad areas of Pioneer Gold similarly struck before first asking .."How's the skin?"

    Dilettantes/type collectors beware. Find a knowledgeable dealer. Tremendously cost effective. One of them recently bought one of those stupid Quints. Quite a few others out there. Manhasset NY and Aurora CO dealers come to mind. Generic Google and checking with a few here will help a lot.

    Very late-breaking news on Moffat $5's. 25 years old image I checked in my attic after my memory was jogged. Then the pop data base.

    I flipped a raw 1849 $5 to Don Kagin on a first-shot double-up at 30K. There are two 64's and two 65's of that date. Your guess is a good as mine as to which it is. Mine was bright and satiny. Mushy centers as ever, color natural straw-lemon yellow. Fror another, someone might check a Pittman catalog. Perhaps he had an 1849 Moffat Dave Akers called AU? It later graded 65. Don't recall which service. It was crustilicious..

    There's only one 1850 in MS63, and one PCGS 65 finer. That 65 coin showed up in "Pretzel"'s case back in the late 80's about six months after mine. Its surfaces were fully frosty but of a less reflective texture. He was asking $50K.

    Bob Riethe and Pretzel were a dynamite team back in the day.

    They sure knew their "stuff"...who was Pretzel anyway. He sure was named right!

    << <i>Bob Riethe and Pretzel were a dynamite team back in the day.

    Pretzel was/is Greg Holloway, who shared a corporate identity with Bob Riethe at Main Line Coins outside Philly. Bob kept and still runs the Main Line corporate franchise.

    Holloway's #1 guy was Tim Carroll, who now runs NFC and is bigger than either of them in today's market. And probably so for decades.

    Interestingly, both Tim's son Ryan (monster talent) and Bob's son Michael have records as world-class graders. Both technically and as real world businessmen.

    Nature or nurture? As usual, both to some degree.

    NFC has also produced Matt Kleinstuber (very major league talent) and (sorry if I've got the name wrong) Keith Moon, who's graded at both services.

    Greg figures strongly in one of Kevin's fantasies. Bobby Hughes in another. Only relatable at shows.image
