    It is not a detailed label and ..... for the fun of it let us hear your take ;)

    Well, when I saw this in your thread "Let's have a FUN - CLEAN and uplifting QUIZ" I thought you might be giving a clue. So, I went with CLEANED AU Details…. B) haha.

    Looking closely at this coin, I wonder how the "I" was worn off in "AMERICA". I suppose having letters worn off like that really lessens the grade. I like to think it's an AU because there are some nice details in the feathers, but the letters worry me. Look closely at the "U" in UNITED. I've never graded a coin, but think it's slipping into an XF grade...just thinking out loud.

    Weak strike, not wear. Very common on these.

    Hmm...NGC, huh? I'll go with 1877 and AU58.

    Thanks, PF!

    After that second photo, I would like to revise my guess in terms of the date. I will stick to my original guess on the grade.

    The darn ledger disappeared again!!!????

    Is it because I tried to update too quickly between the sequences?

    When the slab is posted ..... then you'll know whether you are within the winner circle for the drawing <3

    A consolation prize will be drawn for the majority ..... IT IS a very SPECIAL piece of SILVER indeed ;)

    PS: No more ledger because it turned out to be too much work for this Wahine who rather go to you know where B)

  • GilbertGilbert Posts: 1,533 ✭✭✭

    This is a generous giveaway partially why I was reluctant to join in, plus I know very little about this series or gold in general and didn’t want to insult you, but I want to play, so been leaning circulated from the start hoping I wasn’t ridiculously off. Been talking myself all over the spectrum; guess that’s the fun of it. 1862 XF40. Thanks for the chance.

    That's a striking issue, not worn. Very normal on gold dollars...

    Your Hawaiian is showing. :)

    I had to look up "Wahine":

    1) a Polynesian woman or wife, especially in Hawaii or New Zealand.
    2). a young woman surfer.

    So I had guessed correctly that the place you'd rather go was the beach. B)

    Makena's famous Big & Little beach B)

    Great 'left' at the Little beach if you bodysurf .... clothing is optional.

    For you, maybe, but I think for me most people would insist that it is mandatory. :D:o

    I always wonder - how do you get to such a place? I don't see any roads or parking lots. I guess you hike in or take a boat.

  • RB1026RB1026 Posts: 1,469 ✭✭✭✭

    As always, a very generous and kind gesture from Paradise.....

    My guess is - 1856 AU53

    Here's a shot I took from Hawaii a few years ago...this beach is near a surf training beach where the waves roll in like clockwork all the same size, unlike the giant waves at Big Beach!

    I have heard of Makena beach. I think you are right about optional clothing... There is one young lady around these parts that is named after that beach... for a very specific reason :D

    If I can still make a guess - and just to be different I'm gonna guess 1856 LOL - but I'm gonna go with 55+ !!!

    Thanks for yet another contest @Paradisefound ... You must be truly blessed in life to be so generous with your giveaways!

    I've never owned a gold dollar. Maybe this will be my lucky day ... Mega Millions didn't turn out too well last week :)

    Good luck everyone!
