[QUOTE="johnmilton, post: 3411706, member: 101855"]I would pass. For a me a spot like that would always draw my attention and bother me. Also I tend to want to buy the right coin from the get-go and not worry about upgrades later. Finally this spot will be a bone of contention when it comes time to sell. It will be an excuse for a buyer to pass or offer you less. The Type II gold is not rare. Although it was only made for part of 1854, all of 1855 and at the San Francisco Mint in 1856, there are still lots of them around, especially in the circulated grades. Here is one that is in an AU-55 holder. With grade-flation, you might not find one this good for the cheap prices (compared to a few years ago) that have taken hold in this coin, but at least you can see how an AU might look if you are selective.
