A very good guess. Lance.
There's a reason it's still raw. My guess is that a cleaning or polishing was done. I make it a rule to never buy raw gold. Lance.
The '55 DDO Lincoln was spotted, but only after 24k had been mixed in with non-DDO ones. It was too onerous to sort and too wasteful to condemn...
You're right, Eduard. As a PCGS 63 it is a conditional rarity. Hard to imagine one with nicer eye appeal. The toning is astounding and it has...
They're 600x600. I use photobucket.com to host them. But there are lots of good alternatives. Lance.
I just got to hold them a while, and shoot some pix. Wonderful early US coins. Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]
Sounds like you did really well! And it was a lot of fun, I'm sure. The IHC looks very pretty. Nice color! Lance.

It's an R3+. And strictly speaking that's not "rare". But let's not quibble. Lance.
Hi Brian, How's tricks? The 1820 in my AU registry set is a square base 2, no knob at the top. It's an AU58, I got from the Roger Solomon...
DMPL's are remarkable but every smallest imperfection is highlighted. Low grade DMPL's are really tough for me. I know others feel differently,...
BadThad, it was like, "It doesn't fit what I sell." A polite brush off. It was okay. Lance.
Which do you want in your collection? Why? Toned, crusty, meaty, pretty, rare, southern gold? Lance. [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG] [IMG][IMG]...

I'm sure it didn't tone much. It was probably my imagination. Sometimes I look at coins I bought a while back and think "Now where did that come...
