Here is a $5 Indian Half Eagle gold purchased late this afternoon. It is, in my estimation, an AU (raw). I have so many coins currently held up in PCGS grading, I have decided to hold off on a submission until the next cycle of need arises. A minor concern on the obverse rim at 10 o'clock but I think it will pass.

That rim issue at 9;00 may result in a details grade but it looks like a borderline problem that they may let pass. If you submit it, please let us know how they grade it.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.

I know what you are saying Perry. I am risking it that it will pass. I truly think it is minimal enough and slightly better than the picture portrays. - Tim

A timeless classic by Pistrucci St George (patron saint of war for which I only found out recently what his sainthood was for) and the Dragon, found on most sovereigns since 1817 and Crowns from the UK. 2022 sovereigns will be a key date as it will have the Royal Coat of Arms instead of this design. Will be released soon and I’m hoping to get one myself Mintage figures will be the only reason if they are in the 4-5000 range.
Please excuse this post though as it contains a UK coin. My favorite US coin is the Kennedy Half Dollar tied with the Washington Quarter.
Typically I like to collect Morgans that are EF and have grey, original surfaces. Here's one that I added that's an AU-58 because I love the frosty reflections. PCGS AU-58 VAM-48 Hangnail. Pix courtesy Barberkeys.

Heading to Baltimore for the big show. Be back Sunday! I leave you with a tough dime that I like from my friend up north. PCGS AU-58....Pix courtesy Barberkeys...
I'm back from 4 days in Baltimore and what a show it was! I have lots of newps to share just as soon as I get the photographed by Barberkeys. For tonight, a mint state 62 quarter in my personal collection...
One I've had a while- has anyone seen this reverse before? I've asked a few people and no one has told me that they've seen it before -- notice the cud is not all the way developed to the C in AMERICA.

Here's a toughie that belongs to a friend. PCGS XF-40 CAC
That is a very strong 40 Lenny.
Looks like an older holder. With relaxed grading standards, it might be at least XF45 today.
