You'd spend a lot of money if you did. On average, one out of a thousand will be graded MS69. The Proofs would be a bit more often but not that...
I wouldn't recommend cleaning them. You never know when one of them might be valuable.
I'll let others who know better than I say for sure, but it looks like DDO to me :thumb:
I believe they do spot checks only.
At 33 mm it's about the same size as a double eagle which weighs 33gm. But at 7mm thick this thing is 3 times as thick as a double eagle but yet...
I agree with tcore, a 1/4 or 1/2 eagle is your best bet for that money. You should be able to get a common date one in fairly nice condition. And...
IMO no, the reverse strike quality is not strong enough for a 67. That and the rim nicks are about the only detractions the coin has. But even if...
Ya got a point, I hadn't looked it up til now :thumb: There is DDO though, but it says all of theletters of LIBERTY are doubled. Can you post...
Ahhhh - hadn't got that far yet.
The deal is they are common and not many people collect them - supply and demand in action. It's a common occurence with world coinage, I can't...
All 3 were struck in .900 gold, weight should be same for all - 6.45 gm. Since counterfeits exist for all 3 as well, I suggest you weigh them....

There have been many, mnay threads with tips for coin pics. Just do a search of the forum for the keywords like picture, pic, photograph. You'll...
Howdy izotz - Welcome to the Forum !! Coin dealers in Scotland huh - see if this helps. Argyll Coins & Antiques 73 Robertson Street,...
To the best of my knowledge, no it would not.
Howdy Tom - Welcome to the Forum !! You say you'd prefer one of the last designs for the gold coin you are looking for. I'm going to assume...
I'd go along with the 66. As for the FB designation, much would depend on when it was graded since they didn't use it until about 18 months ago....
It definitely appears to be raised, so yeah, I'd say it's the beginning of a die crack. As for the scratch on the cheek, I'd say that's what it is...
Email the pic to me and I''ll post it for you ;) gdjmsp@qwest.net
