estate purchase, lot of foriegn & US mint issue to sort through, probably catch GOLD fever? ozark travler
are you certain? You have a good eye for detail, yes... the obverse side polished at some point in time, the reverse shows no cleaning ,retains some luster. I was aware of the cleaning and taken into consideration when bidding. thanks, ozarktravler
Saint Gauden reverse $20, luster u grade Coins were in display case and of all those that were cleaned , the FIVE dollar & TWENTY dollar US were shined/cleaned for display purpose, appears to be a type coin collector that purchased years ago for little of no cost. sorry the pics are in doubt, busy going through the rolls looking for key date / high grade and error stuff. Lots of FUN:hail: ozarktravler
The first photo looks polished because of the discoloration on top of the head and in between the "Liberty". It's still a nice coin though.
face lift? putty job? Gee... so she's ugly... I don't want to make love , just add it to my US gold coin collection. May well be just another ugly ounce of gold waiting for the market to spike , "bad face lift" shame on you:hammer:
The interesting thing about these type of coins is that it could be polished, cleaned, corroded, chewed up by the neighbors dog, be railroad fodder for a freight train, and STILL be worth within 10-15% of a quality AU/BU piece of the same type. gotta love bullion. John
Don't listen to them OT. They are just trying to get your coin from you. I, on the other hand, would never stoop so low. :whistle: Considering you can tell what it is, the date, and it hasn't been mauled by a bear, it's a keeper in my book. But if you ever get one in better shape, you can send that one to me. Ribbit
