    adjustment marks on the reverse?

    is that a centering dot i see on the reverse ;-)

    man that coin had a nice strike. the 6 in the date seems to
    jump right off the coin. lots of remaining luster, check!

    marks are very unobtrusive. good eye appeal.

    au55.

    i love it. please enter me into your giveaway.

    What fantastic early gold.

    I really love the color; it looks like it has some nice greenish- orange skin.

    I am finding out very quickly as I research old gold, that every piece has a degree of abrasive cleaning on it.
    It is impossible to find one that doesn't. The key is to find the coins with the least amount of trouble to them.
    I think that for 200 year old gold you did very well. I would be quite happy with a coin like this one for my own gold type set.

    Are those die cracks on the reverse by the olive branch?

    Nice! A little lasering and putty will fix those pesky adjustment marks. image

    I was just digging this one up from the depths.

    I was wondering if the striations (more visible in the reverse) are adjustment marks?

    If this coin was from "1906" I would be trashing it.

    RYK,

    WOW, how can I sleep after seeing this piece?

    The skin looks great! The strike is fantactic! You have to love the clashing!

    I assume it is about AU-55?

    Congratulations to Mark Goodman for capturing the beauty of this example!

    I am so envoius..............
