I don't have any AU58+. I do have a few AU58. Samples from three TPGs: PCGS [ATTACH] ANACS [ATTACH] NGC [ATTACH]
The $3 gold depicts an "Indian princess."
I like the reverse Type 1 for how short-lived it was. Great example. Mine is a lowly AU55. [ATTACH]
I assume they mean Coin Community Forum/Family, often abbreviated CCF. Lots of knowledgeable people there too.
My kids were taught in school how to recognize BS. I think there's a generation or two where we skipped right over that, ripe for the plucking by...
