AG3... and it seems like a good price for this coin. Nice pickup for $8 as long as they didn't stick it to you too much with the shipping.
You will not be disappointed with a BelOMO loupe. Now, mine has a 10x magnification, which is a bit much for grading, but I don't use a loupe to...
Catbert, congratulations on your new coin. It's a beauty! I think it definitely honors your father's memory. I'm sure he'd much rather like you...
Yes, congratulations. This is a nice accomplishment for you!
My gosh this board is getting mushy! ha ha ha :hammer:
Awesome Bone. If I'm remembering correctly, this will be your first show. Post a report when you get back. Happy hunting!

I agree, and I would probably give the coin a net VF as well. It has either been cleaned or was a jewelry piece as you speculate and has lots of...
Here's a link to the CoinFacts sheet on the 1909 D $5. Also keep in mind that the Greysheet prices are supposed to be dealer to dealer prices.
I've never seen Mr. Yancey's site before. It looks like he has some great coins at reasonable prices.
I agree with what's been said and I like the second one much better. The fact that the first is ex-jewelry does turn me off, but I agree with...
