I have been wanting one of these for a while now to add to my type set...being that I live and grew up in California.:D This is a period 1 1856 50...
On the bright side, it looks to have 4 diamonds, solid AU details.
I agree that something is up with that coin. The "s" looks funny to me as well as the date. At best it's a damaged genuine; but I'm concerned...
LOL! Wasn't that quote originally from Winston Churchill? Anyways, I like the coin. It looks like it may still have some luster left, yeah? I...
DGS is a respectable grading company and have heard very little "bad" about them in my research. They don't have the market share that PCGS and...
Very interesting coin Connor, and quite unique in my opinion. Even though ANACS is considered "lower" than NGC and PCGS, I have seen great coins...
Nice coins. Great pickup. Are you going to send any of them for certification?
thank you for the story! Very interesting. Is the color of the coin in the pictures accurate? The coin looks brassy to me, but maybe it's just the...

Thank you for your opinion Mark. You may be right about the uneven wear. That could also explain the lack of luster on the obverse. The reverse...
I think it's the lighting. The reverse has some hairlines, but they aren't really parallel and they are very light in hand. I attribute the lack...
What do you mean by that? You think the coin is fake? The obverse was cleaned and probably weakly struck. More extreme in this case, but not unusual.
thanks! i think... what does "pop" mean?:cool:
This was a recent purchase. The seller graded this coin at VF+ cleaned, which I think is conservative in this case. I'm happy to do business with...
OOOO!! I love it! Nice crusty CC gold. Very special!! Yeah. The reverse detail is quite mushy, but the obverse detail is actually stronger than...
The coin was pretty much dead on as far as weight and size were concerned, so we "assumed" that it was about the same specification as the real...
