That coloration is almost always AT, and in this case almost certainly. From what I understand, it is done with the application of sulfur and/or...
Holy friggin moley! What a coin!!!!!!!!!! I'll say XF 45, and suspect some are confusing weak strike for wear (I did peek at the other guesses...
Any 200+ year old US coin for $50 seems fair to me. Congrats!
p.s. great strike on that coin!

Because the photo seal indicates a "premium quality" coin, and a grade is simply a grade. Please take a look here for an explanation of the...
The weak strike, but as stated above, I've seen some weakly struck proof IHCs before, so that in and of itself doesn't bother me. Can you take...
MS 63 Nice coin, and quite valuable in mint state -- type 2 gold dollars are tough coins.

Commodities have been very volatile recently. Buying (and to a lesser extent selling) are wrought with risk right now -- if you can find someone...
Some around here were saying the same thing when it was $14. ;) [img]
