Nice looking coin . . . VF35 from me as well. I would have ventured XF if the residual luster was a little more apparent.
When gold bullion moves, you can generally expect numismatic gold to move less, both upward and downward. Said differently: The more common the...
You may have a dropped letter error - specifically a dropped mintmark - but your photos must be better to make that determination. In fact, you...
