Quarter Eagle 1859

Hi Guys,
got this little lady in the mail the other morning.
Do you agree with the Old Reverse Variety?
And with AU50/53?
There' about half of the original luster. But's not there in the picture.
Thanks for your response.

Looks like old reverse to me. I'll go with AU-50. Nice coin.

 

I’m in the XF-45 camp.

 

Old reverse, and I think 55 is where I would put it. Worth submitting, for sure.

 

Would like to see a photo with proper white balance... color is odd

 

OK, I will do my very best later

 

Xf 45

 

Yes - Old Reverse variety. Some might think it's an XF-45, but I think it could easily go AU-50.

 

The coin appears to have some PVC goop on it. Can you take clearer pictures please. The coin may need a dip in acetone.

 

Gold won't get PVC goop. I would leave it crusty.

 

Hmm. I never knew that. Thanks for the information.

 

Old reverse. I’m at au50

 

Here is a better pic to see the remaining luster.

 

NGC graded this coin last week and the lady got

AU55 /old reverse......the winner is @jwitten

 

Congrats! Can you post a link to the NGC cert lookup? I’d like to have a look at their pics.

 

Good job

 

Don't know about the reverse, but the white balance is surely 'whacked'......

 

Nice.
