  What is not to like about that. Not a gold nut(due to costs) but you have to love that color and coin.
  Great holder also.
  Congrats.

  Nice, but did you get the Ankurj seal of approval on it yet?

  Good point! I will retract my prior post and reserve judgment until then.

  Not a lot of experience with these but in any event I think it has great color, eye appeal, seems grade and really puts me back imagining life and what it was like at the start of the Civil War.
  And remember, you bought it so you like it and that is all that matters.
  Enjoy your wonderful gold coin and I thank you for sharing it.
  Best

  Nice color and strike, very attractive.
  
  Where I live, a lot of metal detectorists go the James River Plantations, where the Union Army camped. Officers were paid with gold dollars, and nearly uncirculated examples are found with some regularity.

  Somebody came into the shop the other day and said his uncle bought a trunk in an auction of one of them "storage units", which ended up having 850 gold dollars in it.
  I love stories (even unsubstantiated), but a picture of a real one is soothing to the eyes. Thanks for sharing.

  I'm sure Ankur would approve. To be sure, he'd have it stickered.
  
  I love the color and the clashing is fun. Crop it next time so we can see more of the coin.

  Perfect coin for the grade and a nice old holder, nothing not to like! Nice! Not sure what the Ankur connection is on this thread?

  GoldenEye has some nice coins for sale! One of his I really like is out of my budget at the moment, but it's doable with some saving.

  WOW! That is one sweet AU graded coin. I love the color!

  Well, he hasn't yet, so there must be a problem.
