...I see a few issues, including a rim nick and a hole/damage (above the "N" in one on the reverse), but overall the detail is strong for the grade and it does serve a good purpose in filling a spot.

 

85, and I just bought a nice "problem" gold coin, if the next winner doesn't have something ready to go.

 

20!

 

I'm going to call this, as it's been 24 hrs, and I'm heading out.

As much as I wish I got a great deal on it, I'm impatient, and this came about at $110. On ebay, (which is not where I got this), I was finding horrible '57's for more money, so I settled on this one. It completed my LC set from 1798 through 1857 ( except for the 1804).

So the winner is: @jwitten

Now let's see some details GOLD!

 

Whoo hoo! Let me get the kids in bed, then take a few pictures of the coin I just got in TODAY

 

PCGS estimates 100 left in existence. PCGS puts xf40 at $595, xf45 at $670. I think the scratch is very light, and borderline on whether it could straight grade if submitted again. Here is what David Akers says about the date: This is a very scarce and generally underappreciated date. Its number of appearances at auction is lower than for many of the highly regarded dates in this series such as the 1848 CAL., the 1881, and the 1796 No Stars, to name just a few. As the auction records show, specimens better than EF are extremely rare.

So, are we guessing what you paid for it or it's current value?

If it's what you paid then I guess $475

$425. I'm having trouble understanding the details grade on this one. I've seen a whole lot worse in straight graded slabs. Are they more strict on gold? I would think gold coins have more scratches given the soft metal?

 

They do and they're more acceptable. Looks like NGC just detailed something to details something on that one, they seem to do that for whatever reason

 

What I paid. I haven't sold it (yet), so don't know the "current" value yet.

I've had far worse in straight holders. I'm not sure why they decided to details this one over that.
