Why are the backgrounds different shades of gray?
Not sure. I sent in the last two myself, purchased the Mercury already slabbed.
Here's my latest newp:

The No Motto 1866-S double eagle is scarcer than its With Motto counterpart with a mintage of only 120,000 coins. Most surviving examples are usually heavily circulated.
The 1849-D is one of the more common Dahlonega Mint dollars.
And here is the only true pattern that I own. The other two "patterns" in my collection are the 1792 half disme and the 1836 On-Base Gobrecht Dollar. I don't view either coins as a pattern. The 1836 gold dollar is the most common gold pattern in the U.S. series. It was restruck numerous times, and unlike the Gobrecht, there is no way to tell the restrikes from the original issue pieces.
Great thread.... love gold.... super coins. Cheers, RickO

Beautiful early gold on display here...looks like we have a lot to be thankful for!!!
Here's a recent acquisition from @Regulated...thanks again!!
I just picked these up the other day. Got rid of some silver bars and turned them into these beauties.
I knew you'd love that one. the color and luster on it was exactly what I like to see...

That’s a very impressive group
Congratulations. Great eye
Absolutely beautiful sight. I hope to own a Charlotte one day. Thanks for posting them.

FYI the coin which was posted by @Regulated is one of only three error pieces known for early gold...a mis-aligned die caused the error...probably missed by those looking for errors because the mis-alignment is really only seen on one side...and the coin was probably face down in the pile as it was checked...
Cool!!!

If that list includes the 1813 brockage maker, I've owned all three. There is an error early $10 that has yet to be graded that I know isn't on this list. I suspect that it will end up in a holder next year, although I'm not sure any of the powers that be understand it yet...

Recently picked up the Centennial Standing Liberty for $315. Sure glad I didn't bite on the $485 issue price. Have several of the Mercs, still looking for a Walking Liberty. One of the best mint issues from the past decade IMO, just wasn't crazy about the issue price. Congrats!!
Where did you buy one for melt? I paid issue price. My last time to do so.
