Why doesn't toned Southern gold sell for a premium?
I was looking at a dealer's site, and he had this coin for sale. I like my gold with a little color, and I find this coin to be attractive (please note that the picture is not the best, and this dealer's coins are much better in person). Why doesn't toned Southern gold sell for more of a premium? If this was a silver coin,… -
Re: Charlotte $5 Gold for under $500, bargain or blunder?

Re: DLRC has a very nice piece of Americana for sale

( some of these things are available for 5, 10 bucks,… -

Re: Scarce Date Gold
<< <i>bidask: Welcome Aboard! You should definitely visit the Southern Gold Society's website and read the articles on Doug Winter's website! It's true that Liberty Head gold is a challenging and under-appreciated series (except for the "fancy" mintmarks, like "C", "D" and "CC") and that mintages really have no meaning… -
Re: Your opinion of this half eagle, please
This really does not have anything to do with European vs. U.S. grading standards. It has to do with what the old timers called "chestnut" grading standards. The argument was the rarer the coin the loser the standards. This created a sort of double whammy when you got hit for the high cost of the coin as a better date and… -
my first southern mint half eagle, 1845O, guess the grade if you wish. grade revealed.
This could be a fun guess the grade because you have to give it a bit of thought if you wish to match PCGS. I wont give a description because the pics should show most everything going on. Even a repunched 8 it appears. I feel it is a great coin to start with exploring southern gold. Not quite as common as the 44O, not… -
