<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 249747, member: 5233&quot;]OK, so today I got what is really my first large gold piece...a 1925 St. Gaudens Double Eagle.&nbsp; Although I didn&#039;t get it under the best of circumstances (my grandma died in April and this is what she left to me as I am the family&#039;s only coin collector and she felt I would appreciate it most).&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, it is a Philadelphia minted 1925 double eagle...so overall a fairly common one.&nbsp; Apparently, she won it in 1971 through the Nucoa &quot;Good as Gold&quot; Sweepstakes.&nbsp; The letter I got with the coin stated that she was one of the daily winners of the contest.&nbsp; The letter is dated 10/29/71.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have no experience with double eagles as this is the first in my collection.&nbsp; Could you guys weigh in on what you think it grades...not only so I have an idea but so I can also try and learn how to grade this particular type of coin.&nbsp; Hopefully, the photos are good enough.&nbsp; Thanks!!!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b97/RichieB16/1925DoubleEaglesmall.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
