900fine, I absolutely LOVE your $5 Classic Head piece. Wanna trade? Here's mine. Anyways, the TPGs are notorious for overgrading these coins, so I would say NGC would give it a 58, and PCGS would give it a 55. I would give it a 53, and very VERY PQ at that. Great strike and very few marks. Perfect type example.

 

Don't have any classic head gold, but I do have "bust" gold



By the way, the IHC i put there for scale, but I actually got that one in the first box of cents I ever tried to roll search :thumb:

 

Here's my 1881 Liberty Head Eagle. I'd grade this in the XF-45 range.

 

Thanks ! I bought it 'cuz it still has original mint cartwheel lustre. So few do.

Outstandin' !

Yes, they are

Yes, they did

Yes, they probably would

Yes, i would too

Yes, it is

 

Nice gold by everyone!
I show my 1911 all the time, so time to show the 1912

 

Here is one that is about 2 years newer.

 

And 10 times rarer ! :bow:

That "D" don't mean Denver, daddy

 

Wow. Well, we have no room to argue here. Since you are in such an agreeable mood with your spree of "yes's" I will go ahead and fill in your response for the one question of mine that you missed.

johnny54321: "wanna trade?"
900fine: "Yes, of course!!"

:hail::hail:

CrustyCoins: I will settle for a trade with yours as well. btw...AWESOME COINS!!!!

 

Finally ! Something we can disagree on !

Get in line !

 

Yes, they are. All fabulous. Thanks, everybody.

But HEY ! Yer not gittin' off that easy.

It's time for one more contestant in the Great Gold 2009 Summer Smackdown ! Here ya go...

Very nice ! :thumb: Branch mint. Competing with Crusty's Dahlonega, are ye ?

It's Indian Nite here on Coin Talk, so here's one for ya...

 

Gorgeous color! Love love love this coin and design in particular.

 

All I can say is WOW guys....they're all beautiful. But of them all, I'm deeply in love with 900's OP....

 

Original Dahlonega gold is really in a class by itself, I can only dream about owning one someday. I really like the Pan-Pac gold dollar, a great design and one that may be more within my reach.

 

One more before I hit the hay, I'll confess that it has been lightly cleaned, but still has nice color and luster:

 

1857 $3 ! A home run hitter ! :hail:

Nice pick; a somewhat better date. 85% less mintage than the 1854 prototype.
