Looks pretty darn good to me! I really like the black holder with Gold coins.

That is a pretty one!

BryceM · January 8, 2016 10:56PM

Nah, it can't be nice unless it's in a TPG slab.

I'm sure there are very many more like it still out there running free.

Boosibri · January 8, 2016 10:59PM

Looks nice!

Safe in plastic even if it's a legitimate MS 64 + or - a point, it's safe.

Looks mark-free from the images. MS66?

Not grading this one. Just enjoying it the way it is.??

Love those metal screws vs the typical (cheap) plastic ones.

Looks lovely, but all 23-D's look lovely. This date has to be pretty nice to be a 66....they are pretty tough on them.

coinlieutenant · January 9, 2016 4:32AM

I'm on a tiny screen....maybe imagining a D, but about the same with 23..

darktone · January 9, 2016 4:40AM

Not really interested in putting a grade on it. My Dad bought this for like $35 when he graduated medical school in the 60's. He gave it to me to keep in the family. It would cheapen it to have it graded. ??

Very nice Saint... I like it just where it is... Cheers, RickO

Gorgeous coin in a very nice and classy display!

Stuart · January 9, 2016 8:58AM

Beautiful Coin! -- Thanks for sharing.

I like Gold coins in those old plexiglass Capital Plastics screw tight holders.

SeattleSlammer · January 9, 2016 9:27AM

Looks gem....

coinkat · January 9, 2016 10:05AM

Great story and an attractive coin. I would leave it as is too

A humdinger of a $20. Beautiful!

Beautiful coin. Was that your father's birthday, or did it have some significance to your father?

I bought myself a brand new Miata when I was in law school in the mid 90s. I haven't really driven it in 15 years, but I recently had the engine serviced, the top replaced and the leather seats recovered. While not a big piece of gold like your father's heirloom, I do look forward to passing it down to one of my kids one day.

darktone · January 9, 2016 10:32PM

Thanks guys. No he just picked out the nicest one he found from Harlan Bjerk.

CharlotteDude · January 10, 2016 1:58AM

Very nice coin. I initially thought it was a more modern mint product (it looks that nice, strike and surface-wise) until I looked at the date.

'dude

coinhack · January 10, 2016 2:12AM

That is a superb coin.

But having the connection with your dad is the best. My dad died last year and left me some coins. Those are imbedded into my collection and will never be sold.

Congrats on having such a nice coin and heirloom.

Cougar1978 · January 10, 2016 3:18AM

It is a beautiful Gem BU. I yearn for the old days before numerical grading, sticker game, etc.

Really impressive coin. I remember picking one about as nice (probably a 65-66), a 1907 Arabic Numerial $20 in a coin shop in 1969 paying around $85 as a kid right out of HS.

asheland · January 11, 2016 3:04AM

Nice one! The black holder does look nice...

bolivarshagnasty · January 11, 2016 4:07AM

Very nice Saint! BTW, Your demise has been greatly exaggerated. Someone reported you bammed from the forum last week.
