[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3226115, member: 92655"]My apologies for the sorry photo. This was relegated to my safe deposit box years ago and I blew this up from an insurance inventory photo. So it's not much to look at. Back in the 1990's I went a bit nuts and bought all the old gold coins I could get my hands on. This was one of them. I wasn't savvy enough at the time to recognize that it was cleaned. I bought the coin very cheap with a lot of double eagles. I thought at the time I had something sort of special and sent it in for grading only because I want my heirs to be able to liquidate my safe deposit box coins more easily. Before I ramble too much, I do have a question. If this were a straight graded coin, I would expect this to bring $850.00-$1000.00. But since it is cleaned is it now relegated to melt or spot value? I am trying to put together a valuation list for my family and want it to be somewhat accurate. [ATTACH=full]841056[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
