66? Really? Liberty looks like she was hit by a truck. Did the grader miss the marks on her left leg? ...still a nice coin though.

 

Hey now, there's no need to go insulting my first real gold coin. She's a nice lady! It's a large gold coin with great original color, so I think the graders are inclined to look past a few marks on the high points. PCGS and CAC both seem to think a 66+ is appropriate. You also have to consider the fact that large, high resolution images tend to show more flaws than you would notice in-hand with a loupe.

 

66 all day, every day. Great color, luster, minimal high point rub and marks.

 

All new on the right
in slabs. Working on a PCGS graded quarter eagle set now....saving up for the 1911d then will finish the easier ones after the fact.

 

Makes for 2 of us. More a silver guy but everyone here knows how I feel about original skin and toning

 

Sorry, I didn't want to be mean. But I couldn't believe they'd "look past a few marks" and grade it as high as 66. Maybe the pics are really too good ;-)

 

This arrived today. My initial foray into $5 Indian gold .

 

Looks nice, and truly unc.

 

I really like this for some reason, Larry!

 

I really like this one too. Has that crusty, authentic, historic, wonder-where-it's-been look. Came back to it several times for another look.

Found in a cent roll some years back.

 

Now that is a catch!
