    Wow, looks like you win on this post, hands down. That is an incredibly impressive coin in such a lofty state of preservation. Even though yours is a Type 2 dollar, you still win. Congrats on such a beauty!

    I bought this one from a dealer who was planning on cracking it out for a re-grade back when the MS-65 Type I Gold Dollars had much higher bids. I probably over paid for it as a result.

    Here's a better date, an 1853-D. This one is special to me because an 1853-D was one of the first gold dollars I saw. It was the spring of 1960, and I was in the 5th grade. My mother's cleaning lady had it. I never had a chance to buy the coin. One of the men in town offered her $50 for it, which was a fair price 65 years ago. This one is graded AU-58.

    Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible.
