<p>[QUOTE="Market Harmony, post: 736981, member: 20154"]Let me first preface this post by saying that I know absolutely nothing about grading gold pieces. I have not yet moved on to these as an aspect of my collection. The coin below was a payment for services that I rendered and I got this for less than melt value (about $280). So, to me, that is what it's worth.</p><p> </p><p>BUT, I know that I may be able to sell this coin for more than $280, and I would like to do so. As stated, however, I have no way of knowing the numismatic value (if any) of the coin. So, please help me with determining what grade it is, and please tell me an average price for which I can expect to sell it in today's market. In advance, thank you very much. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img254.imageshack.us/img254/3566/18815auobv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://img697.imageshack.us/img697/3598/18815aurev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p> </p><p>as always, I did my best on the pictures, but if you need more, please let me know.</p><p> </p><p>Some things that I noticed about the coin: There is damage to the f in "OF" on the reverse.
