    Can't really go wrong with 1700s dollars. Careful with those or next thing you know you'll be buying a lot more non-gold coins :p

    Nah, he'll find his way to 18th century gold. It's just a matter of time. :D

    I hear selling the house and living in a tent helps with being able to afford those

    You could always crack that sucker out and gold plate it.

    Reverse looks better than 8. Maybe the obv. takes it down to that net grade.
    6/10.
    Beautiful coin.

    I had the pleasure of judging exhibits in Denver that included within the class a "first year of issue" set for all U.S. gold denominations. Impressive.

    Very nice indeed. Was this by any chance for a type set?

    Nope. I've just been wanting a silver dollar from the 1700's. I recently sold one of my gold for a decent profit, so just decided it was time to pull the trigger.
