I just picked this Saint last week and I am thinking about having it graded, I thought I would get a few opinions here 1st to see what you guys think ED
I'd say that Gaudens is VG at best. Thank goodness it's gold, or you wouldn't even have melt to fall back on.
Why are you asking about what we think of the grade? Though you were in line to grade coins for David Bowers this summer...
