I just picked this pretty little $5 piece. Looks original and AU to me.
Thoughts, opinions are welcome.
1.4 million mintage on this date...

    Nice! Looks like it's AU55 or 58 on a good day.

    Nice AU. In numismatics, there's pre-1933 gold then there's everything else... B)

    58 CAC. Nice pickup

    A "B" coin, solid but unexciting from the moment it left the dies.
    We've all seen a few .worse in a 61 holder. If so, likely dipped

    It's a hollow request because the value-added of a TPG grade is, at this quality level, less than the cost of grading. With images not created, it'd be hard to find much useful imagery of a P-mint AU55 (or 58 or 61) "B" from '00-'02. If this were a better date (spread-wise) 55 "B" coin in a rattler, It would have been cracked long ago

    Very NICE high AU!

    I love it when a Walker Guy steps out of his comfort zone.

    It can be a beautiful thing.

    Nice coin. CACable at 55, but I'd leave it raw.

    Kind of agree... probably AU58 but I have quite a few with similar mintage that I have left unslabbed. Never seen a bad piece of pre-1933 gold. I'd have grabbed it at a small premium over gold if I had crossed paths with it.

    Thanks for the comments all. It's just going into the 50 gallon drum with the rest of em'. Not interested in having it graded...

    AU-58?

    Nice luster but too much going on to be a 58. 55 at best

    The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin
