I believe this is correct as the prior auction sold for $9,500.

It looks like a decent VF graded coin, but if it sold for $9,500 before, and they are looking for that much or more now, it's a pass. Why do they try to sell an obvious 4-figure item like this raw? It just makes collectors, such as I, who am attracted to something like this, step back.

I do not believe it is "they" that are looking for more money. I believe that the coin has been returned, and the seller is putting it up for auction again.

All of the Gold coins (quite a few Territorials) are raw. How come? In the words of Arsenio Hall, 'Things that make you go
