I like it,,,, the MS60 grade must be due to some hairlines not seen in the photos.
That coin looks good for the grade. But my real preference is for the bust gold from 1807 thru 1812. I have trouble getting past... dat face for that series!

I like that large head style FAR better than the commoner full bust type.
Not as much as the turban, but more than the middle type.
It's also an underrated type.
Due mainly (I think) to the lesser number available.
Looks cool!

I like it a lot..... maybe one of these days.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
Grade is secondary to the skin on the coin.

looks good from here. nice score

Yes, but it takes you back to another time and its rare gold. That's good enough for me.
Looks like a good choice especially for a type set without spending enough to buy a house.
It was one of the coins that Bill at Estate wholesalers sent out; and it was the highest graded in the early $5 coins he sent out.

Not a huge fan but it could be the scans

Widget?
Who are you, Daddy Warbucks? That coin sells in the low 5 figuures in that grade.
Thank goodness for the 1813 $5 "widget." If it were not for that date, that type would clean out your bank account in no time.
So far as the design goes, I think the John Reich's previous Ms. Liberty was much more attractive.
I'm kind of surprised that E.W. didn't run the coins through True view, it sure helps get a more accurate picture of the quality of a coin. I kind of like the 1813 ff. types; strong Germanic looking woman, not sexy, but none of them are except maybe for the early FH silver types.
Nice looking coin and maybe it’s the scans, but there seems to be a lack of luster.
i could be nice, but i can't tell with those photos. the reverse of these coins tend to look better. i don't know if that's because of the strike or old collectors touching the obverse more to feel the coin.
i wish there was a true view. nothing beats looking at these in person.
It is gold, and it is a coin... What's not to like?? For me, that is an unbeatable combination.... I like it just as it is...Cheers, RickO
