<p>[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1269600, member: 26030"]Here is a TrueView photo of the 1851 Gold Dollar I bought raw a few months back. I got very lucky with this because when I sent it in to be graded, not only was it not counterfeit (which I was worried about), PCGS slapped an MS64 grade on it -- so I ended up making a quick paper profit of $1000 or so. What helped me was I bought this live and in-person with a coin dealer where I was able to cherry-pick a box of raw $1 gold coins, allowing me to find one that was very clean with great luster. Still, until I sent this in to PCGS, I was worried that I just spent $395 on a counterfeit. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]138694.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>This is an actual-scale image of it's size (tiny!).
