F/VF details, scratched. That reverse scratch is old, but it is *deep*
Very interesting. Any idea how many dies were used for 1862? With a total mintage of 343,000, it was probably only 2? or 3? die pairs?
It is one of my favorite coins, and one of the highlights of my collection. Even though its tiny!
Yes. NGC MS-67 * PL CAC
When I bought my trime, I asked a few dealers at the time if it might be a Proof. They pointed out to me many of the things I'm now mentioning....

The Benduqi is a small gold coin of Morocco, weighing 3.5 grams and about the size of a US dime. Gold coins are rare from Morocco. While the...
Agreed, that appears to be a minor lamination.
Major rim ding instantly rules the second one out now, too. Pass on both of these.
I'm going to go with Option C C) Both
Cameo proof classic gold is almost always attractive. That is a special coin.
The corrosion on the first one instantly rules it out. I can't see the reverse of the second one, but the obverse isn't bad.
What kind of sums are we talking about? Are the coins really hard to find and thus expensive, or are they one of the popular coins that are...
