New acquisition. Last year of issue.

 

New one. Type 2 gold dollar.

 

I like that type 2, there seem to be quite a few of them around in high AU. I have this one:

 

Good strike for that year and original color too! Don’t you ever sell it... and if you want to sell it, please PM me

 

That is a superb strike

 

Thanks for the comments; in hand it has a rich orange-gold color that I like a lot; the only issue I have is the planchet problem near the obv rim from about 1 to 3 o'clock. It graded PCGS AU58

 

Dollar gold is a cool coin.

 

Lost the reverse photo of this one and it’s moved around in the slab but it’s my only CAC gold.

 

Looks like a sweet coin plus the rattler cachet and bean!

 

How do you get that coin straight in the slab?

 

I have read that if you repeatedly tap the holder lightly on a hard surface the coin will slowly shift position. No personal experience, though!

 

If you have an electric toothbrush you can use it to vibrate it back to center

 

I’ll try both of these methods!

@Mainebill Should I use fluoride toothpaste?

 

Skip the paste unless you’re trying to buff out scratches. Never tried it but it might work. Actually leave the head off and the end where it goes will work just fine
