Excellent. Thank you for posting.
I have this 1875CC, AU53 with a CAC sticker - the strike is so bad that you can barely read the word "liberty" and the wings have very little...
No comparison that stunning incredible piece from 1880. But here is a nice, older circulated one, possibly original surfaces. [ATTACH]
Took a detector out a couple of times in my "yard" (the site of an early 19th century farmstead in New England), but the closest we came to coins...

gold is wild for any other gold, right? [ATTACH]
Perfect! Thanks.
(note - posting this because only folks on this site would understand why this is exciting for me! haha) I sent five coins in last week and...
Does appear to be the same coin. Personally, I'm amazed that a 1/2 grade point makes that much difference. But, oh well. Pays to resubmit...
I had a CC double eagle with a similar scratch once - came back from NGC with AU details due to the scratch. I didn't know enough at the time to...
Hey, buddy. I don't expect anything, I'm just commenting on what I see. Everything you say is true except the personalizing of whatever it is...
Nice piece :) Such huge variety in strike. This 58 has flattness in the left wing on the lowest feathers as well as the top. But the obverse is...
So all in all, looking at my 35 and the examples of 58's and 55's than have been provided it does seem that strike is of essence. If that is a...
Haha, zero of course. Does anyone have any pictures of a genuine counterfeit of this issue that you would be willing to post (a counterfeit...
BTW I love this issue - it's beautiful in any grade. However, If that's a 55 then mine should be an XF45, no? Currently graded 35 w CAC (NGC)....

Regarding early Indian Head Eagles, I had asked if anyone knew why the 1907 and some 08's had no motto. I checked with a couple of my books...
First year of issue, type 3, No Motto. If they didn't have mottos because ST. Gaudens didn't like the aesthetics of it - I have to agree. [ATTACH]
My favorite Eagle [ATTACH]
No Motto Saint! Nice! Love those, the Indian Heads too. A throwback. Anyone got the story of how those early 1907's got minted without the...
