1876 CC $5 gold

I have a chance to pic this coin up and the person wants me to make a fair offer. What grade should be assigned to this coin and also a ball park value.

Go to pcgs.com that will give u a starting point. Then see if others here who know alot more than me will help u. I'd love to have it myself.

 

I'm not sure about the grade, but I'd say it's been harshly cleaned. Here's a similar $5 CC currently for auction:

Yea, I would agree that it has been harshly cleaned after looking at that auction. Thanks

 

I sent it into PCGS, it came back a solid vf30. I thought for sure it would come back as a detail grade but my local coin guy thought it would grade and he talked me into it. Turns out he was right. I was blown away when i got it back.

 

I ended up paying $2200 for it by the way so i did well.
