MrSpud I really like your Bechtler dollar. Very nice!!! The real granpa of all golden US dollars
And Ambro51 - WOW is this 1867 a proof or just a very nice proof-like business strike?? Either way - very nice and very rare. If proof - there are less then 20 around.
Yes, that 1867 is just a KILLER coin. Even nicer in hand, deep black fields and cameo luster. I bought that in an NNC slab last year, as an MS64PL. In turn, I submitted it to PCGS in the holder and they "vengeance graded" it down to an MS62 HAHAHAHA yup....
so I suppose it will need a few resubmissions to climb the ladder up to its true grade.
I dont know why they just dont ask for a bribe or something.....to get the correct grade, rather than all the sending it out west over and over etc etc.....
Originally, it was understood that the joined wreath tops were a diagnostic of the Proof. Even Breen felt that way. However, it is not true at all. All type 2 and type 3 gold dollars, in a unrelapped die state, can have this feature, some years more so than others.
ummm.....the 1/2 is not genuine, is it? Id always heard if cal gold had a bear, and no monetary designation....not genuine. But thats not my series so Im not sure on that.
