Nice find! It looks genuine and EF-40 or so in grade; maybe 45. Given the title of the thread, I was half expecting to find a racketeer...
Also, I doubt the one pictured would go 64, due to hits on the knee and neck. I would pass and buy a nice certified one for $500.
I have an NGC AU-50 that doesn't have any more details than this. I don't see any signs of fakery either, but these are dangerous to buy raw. With...
I wouldn't pay that much unless it was certified. I purchased this one raw for $150 about a year ago. It was a great price and I got lucky in that...
I was thinking lower MS...like 61 or 62. It appears to have full luster in the fields, but some minor rub/splotches and luster breaks on the...
I agree. This year is in type 1 is better struck than practically all other slq years. That said, it looks to be a nice coin. It was probably...
The scratch is distracting, but even problem coins need a home, and this would be a decent coin in a lower budget collection. I say VG-8 details.
I woul suppose if the coins have a pedigree, they might command a small premium as some do. Very nice cameos, and that is certainly a set to take...
Absolutely stunning Charmy! This looks way nicer to me than those untoned red BU cents..I absolutely adore it!
Thanks Kanga, and nice coin. Mine looks to be a similar grade as yours, so would probably get a 45, but may go 50 if the luster is strong in hand.
Awesome coin crusty! I don't know anything about varieties, but that coin appears to genuinely be mint state. There are many AU classic head gold...
That would be great if it was AU, as there is a huge price gap between XF and AU. I purchased it raw, and the seller did not offer a grade. I...
This purchase brings me down to needing only 3 more coins for my Dansco 7070, and completes my half dollar type collection! These aren't easy to...
Those are excellent coins Kanga!! Lots of crustiness lustrous goodness showing! Bravo!

Well, I expect in general that classic head gold coins from the mid 1830s would have a much lower survival rate than the proof, that much is true....
I decided to try it out for a month just to see what all the rave is about. It is a neat site, and I will definitely be using it for a while; but...
Very nice coin. $160 is MS-63 money???? Has the value on these declined that much? I thought it would be worth close to twice that. Terrific...
Excellent coin Kanga. I really like the color!
thanks Kanga. That is a good idea, as the slab is a bit beat up. The reverse is harder to photograph since the coin is so thin, and is sunk way...
