<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gixxxer, post: 719851, member: 13268&quot;]Gold seems to be harder to grade than silver or clad coins. So... Can Y&#039;all help me out with this one?</p><p>This one had &quot;UNC&quot; written on the sleeve. After looking through the ANA Grading Standard, 6th ed, I couldn&#039;t decide what the grade should be. I&#039;m stuck thinking MS-60, 61, or 62 at best.</p><p>I used a 16x loupe, and it looked like a lot of smaller abraisions/dings/hits on the coin.But, I don&#039;t see any wear on the high points.</p><p>I would appreciate any thoughts on what the grade is, and WHY (I am trying to learn, as I go<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. </p><p>I am more concerned with a closer to accurate grade than I am with the value.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The coin also has a die crack on the rev. I am assuming that this will take away from it&#039;s value - i.e., not a very desirable error for this coin.?.?.?.?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
