Picked this up at a show today. My first proof gold $2.5. Mintage 200. I'll get better pics later this week.

That's a fantastic piece LDM.

 

Owned a lot of $2.5 gold, but never a proof one. Nice!

 

Are you going to resubmit as the seller suggested? It's about a $2000 jump.

 

I supposed this is another beauty that just walked in . I wonder if I could open a coin shop in my garage .

 

No, I actually bought it at a little local show from a friend of mine.

 

Nice one there Matt ! Rusty can I get an oil change and tire rotation while I shop?

 

The reverse is CAM. Its a pity the obverse doesn't follow through.

 

Nice coin! Proof gold is always fun. Just be on the look out for doctored coins even in top tier TPG plastic, as they are popular targets. I would be a bit more nostalgic and optimistic if I wasn't burned on the first one I bought. PCGS some how over looked the altered surfaces and I purchased based on internet images - a stupid mistake, I know.

 

Killer coin!

 

aw, jeeze, Matt.


What next?


An MS-69 Chain cent?

 

Better pics.

 

Grabs phone at the ready to dial 911 when Frank has the big one! No worries Frank I'm sure someone here will start CPR right Doug?

 

Yeah, right. Doug?

He gives heart attacks, not aid.

 

I see no advantage to cracking that one Matt. I guess if you want it in a clear holder cross it but that 63 is a 63 IMO

 

Nice coin and photos, Matt. Grade looks about right from the hairlines I can see.

 

Yeah, I thought it was accurately graded. It might take a trip to CAC... But other than that it's gonna stay in that holder.

 

Unless a whole lot of those scratches, nicks and dings are on the holder to me is is seriously overgraded. If this was a modern piece with all those marks it would be a 61 at best, and quite possibly a details piece.

 

Matts pics seem to accentuate the marks. I think accurate as graded
