blackhorse360 · February 15, 2019 7:51PM

I’ve been wanting this coin for my set for a long time and I finally pulled the trigger! It’s for sure without a doubt the most beautiful coin ever minted!

golden · February 15, 2019 7:56PM

The most beautiful U.S. coin! I own one and have only owned one other in 58 years. Congratulations!

ms70 · February 15, 2019 7:57PM

Congratulations!!! Love it!

Thank You! If was a tough find because I wanted a MS-60 But when I saw this coin i couldn’t say no. If it were not in a holder I would have guessed it at a 60 all day long. I’ve even had some of my buddies who are professionals say I should resubmit it that it would upgrade to a 60. Either way it’s one of the Crown Jewels Of my collection.

Very nice catch. Your perseverance paid off. After the enjoyment subsides a little, do you have a next candidate in mind?

I collect Double Eagles and $10 Indians and have been blessed to build a really good collection. To answer your question my next one is going to be an 1850 Double Eagle PCGS MS-60. I already own the 1850-o

That 58 is cleaner and has fewer bag marks than the average 60. Don't sweat the grade. That is a beauty and Imo better than about any 60 you will find. Remember 60 is the worst uncirculated grade. Nice coin, congrats.

CuKevin · February 15, 2019 8:24PM

Why 60?
60 is bottom of the barrel UNC. And difficult to find because it’s tough to find them that beat up.
58 is typically a nice coin with a touch of wear.

jabba · February 15, 2019 8:25PM

Reverse. show the reverse please

jdimmick · February 15, 2019 8:26PM

58's I have seen incl this one far nicer than the 61's I have seen. I don't ever recall seeing a 60, but probably even worse

Paradisefound · February 15, 2019 8:26PM

Congrats @blackhorse360 ........ a rare beauty indeed!

SmEagle1795 · February 15, 2019 8:27PM

You wouldn't want a 60 - your 58 has a ton of eye appeal and a 60 would have visible problems.

The Scotsman auction it was in is linked in the cert lookup page if you want a nicer image.

SeattleSlammer · February 15, 2019 8:29PM

I’m in the 58-better-than-60 club.

Sweet coin.

golden · February 15, 2019 8:38PM

I remember back in the very late1960's I purchased a Mint Mark set of Liberty $20's in a special Capital Plastic holder with a $20 High Relief in the center. The P,D and S were AU or so, the CC was XF, the O was VF and the High Relief was VF or so. I paid $1000! I wish that I had kept it . Those were the days.

blackhorse360 · February 15, 2019 8:41PM

Thanks for all your comments! Your right about it being nicer then the average 60

I didn’t know that. I bought it from them and they are great friends. Feel free to post an image of the reverse if it’s on that very look up page

blackhorse360 · February 15, 2019 8:47PM

Do you guys think that this coin still has a lot of upward value potential in say 10 to 15 years?

The reverse does it for me on this coin

mirabela · February 15, 2019 9:15PM

Great coin! That's one to treasure.

Great coin!! The closest I will ever come to it is my omega.

Awesome coin

3keepSECRETif2rDEAD · February 16, 2019 1:13AM

Very Very Very Awesome! Congrats and Enjoy her

illini420 · February 16, 2019 1:40AM

Congrats, great looking coin!

And as several others pointed out, you'll be much better off with that nice AU58 than an MS60 coin. Just about the only time an MS60 coin looks better than an AU58 is when looking at a price guide.

Timbuk3 · February 16, 2019 2:26AM

Sweet, congratulations !!!

It's a famous and very high quality counterfeit HR Saint. The counterfeiter signed his work with a tiny Greek letter omega within the eagle's talon.

shorecoll · February 16, 2019 7:01AM

Idk about future potential, but the high relief has always been a star coin, so it's more likely than most to hold/gain value.

Love the Omega as well.

BillJones · February 16, 2019 7:32AM

Congratulations! I have owned two High Relief $20 gold pieces during my time as a collector and dealer. It is a landmark coin for any collector which has a very interesting history in addition to its great beauty.

oih82w8 · February 16, 2019 8:52AM

One of the "must haves" for my collection...one of these days...definitely on my bucket list. Congratulations! She's a beauty!

Thank you for sharing! I had forgot I heard about those a long time ago. That coin is a beauty!

Congrats for nailing a tough specimen.

great coin-smart move in getting the bean too

in all my years, the most commonest coin-HR-but the demand has never ever stopped blowing away supply.

Thank you! I really didn’t know when that time would come but I ran up on that one and it was the nicest High Relief I’d ever seen in person. I knew it was now or never and believe me it wasn’t cheap but it was well worth it

Agree that this is one of the few coins that truly qualifies as a work of art - and due to its size and depth enters the realm of a sculpture.

erwindoc · February 17, 2019 5:06AM

That is an awesome coin! It is on my list!

oldabeintx · February 17, 2019 12:07PM

Eye appeal up the wazoo. Can't imagine a 60 coming close EP-wise.

tommy44 · February 17, 2019 6:33PM

Congratulations! I like it a lot. I can only hope to have one as nice to fill the hole in my gold type set.
