Quite a new purchase! The devices are hammered and the skin looks very nice. I see little apparent wear but not much luster either. I am probably low with this guess: AU53.

kaz · November 29, 2015 9:19PM

Beautiful coin, love the patina. 55?

TopographicOceans · November 29, 2015 10:10PM

I'd say 55 because it looks grade looks the same upside down

Boosibri · November 29, 2015 10:15PM

Strange...on my Mac the image is fine, on my work PC the image is flipped 180. Fixed now.

Treashunt · November 29, 2015 11:03PM

nice!

ricko · November 29, 2015 11:23PM

Very nice gold coin.... 55/58 Cheers, RickO

Proofmorgan · November 29, 2015 11:30PM

Beautiful!!!!! I'd guess 55

joebb21 · November 29, 2015 11:39PM

nice 55! what did you say about it getting MAC'ed?

topstuf · November 30, 2015 12:43AM

p55

n61

BillJones · November 30, 2015 12:45AM

That's a really nice peice with original surfaces, which Boosibri's usual MO. I'd grade the piece AU-58.

TomB · November 30, 2015 12:48AM

I am guessing gorgeous and graded as AU58.

RYK · November 30, 2015 1:00AM

Great coin!

Lots of cool die cracks.

golden · November 30, 2015 1:12AM

Nice coin with a great strike!

BustCuds · November 30, 2015 1:15AM

Very Nice Early Gold!

Broadstruck · November 30, 2015 1:35AM

I'll go AU53 now that it's right side up.

fishteeth · November 30, 2015 2:45AM

That is the nicest EF40 I have ever seen. Great coin

Thanks! It looks very similar to the 1800 we have both owned

steveben · November 30, 2015 2:59AM

sweet coin

Riverfront · November 30, 2015 3:06AM

I would have guessed 53/55, but that coin is insane at 40. I love the OGH, but that thing needs to be let out.

johnny9434 · November 30, 2015 5:17AM

cool gold

asheland · November 30, 2015 5:25AM

My initial guess was AU55!

That coin is SUPERB!

Bullsitter · November 30, 2015 5:57AM

Very nice piece indeed !!

TomB · November 30, 2015 5:58AM

Who wants to guess the over/under for number of posts edited in this thread?

Sunshine Rare Coins · November 30, 2015 6:12AM

gold cac incoming!

BillJones · November 30, 2015 6:30AM

If you bought that piece for anything close to EF-40 money you stold it.

PRECIOUSMENTAL · November 30, 2015 6:44AM

Wow, talk about under graded!

Is Gorgeous.

lordmarcovan · November 30, 2015 6:50AM

I guessed AU before scrolling down to see the slab picture.

WTG! There's an awesome and beautiful early gold newp for you, and a type I've always dreamed of owning.

Alas, on my budget such a coin is destined to remain but a dream and never a reality.

Wish I could admire it in person, though. I'd pay a dollar admission fee just for the privilege.

keyman64 · November 30, 2015 6:53AM

Wow, Sweet coin!

Yorkshireman · November 30, 2015 7:55AM

B,

You are building one nice set of $5's!!

mercurydimeguy · November 30, 2015 7:55AM

Brian, I've seen MS61's with less detail, honestly man...

CoinRaritiesOnline · November 30, 2015 8:05AM

Very nice.

Broadstruck · November 30, 2015 8:11AM

Maybe it was net graded for dirt?

coinlieutenant · November 30, 2015 8:12AM

Stunning...wow...where did you pick that puppy up?

USMarine6 · November 30, 2015 8:21AM

Obviously under graded with better than average eye appeal. So what is your plan for this? CAC, leave it alone, reconsideration?

Maybe they'll put 2 gold cac stickers on this one! In all seriousness...great coin.

Baley · November 30, 2015 11:13AM

Beautiful coin, the details are obviously better than XF40. I'd like to tilt those obverse fields in the light and take a gl***** to them before offering an opinion as to how far undergraded she is.

Neat die crack through star 13. Great pick up *****uming you paid anywhere near 40 price guide.

Welcome back, John.

The coin would be a great addition to the RYK non-collection.

Boosibri · November 30, 2015 11:44PM

"Neat die crack through star 13. Great pick up *****uming you paid anywhere near 40 price guide. "

It is a neat die crack and is more pronounced than in the photos. It is actually a crack from 9 o'clock to the center to 4 and 6 o'clock

Do you think this coin was net graded for any reason? The full slab images suggest a light dip? Can't see it under 50 either way though.

Boosibri · December 1, 2015 12:10AM

I don't think it has been dipped or net graded.

BIGAL2749 · December 1, 2015 12:34AM

Appears ridiculously under graded

Any more like that available?

topstuf · December 1, 2015 1:28AM

Cool old gold

Hydrant · December 1, 2015 2:08AM

It's a beauty. Looking at pictures is as close as I'll ever get. It must give you a great sense of pride and satisfaction to actually own a coin like that. Congratulations.

Nysoto · December 1, 2015 2:23AM

I would have guessed 50 from the current moveable grading "standard." Perhaps a strict 45 is appropriate. I also have an 1803/2 PCGS40 from DW that has as much luster or more, a great 40-45 will sell at AU50 level. There are very few of these in VF/XF grades. It has become my favorite coin design.

You should post that 1803/2.

Nysoto · December 1, 2015 3:20AM

You should post that 1803/2.

I will post - but it will take a while as it is in the bank and I am working 60 hour weeks.

Mine is net graded, I believe, by PCGS, as it has a hit by the date which is OK for a non-perfectionist. Since it was sold by DW, it is a toned original with great eye appeal.

Nice coin!
