It's a really nice gold coin. Do you agree with the assigned grade?

 

Ya, seems about right to me

 

Stunning piece.

 

I'd believe either of them at AU50, and the newer one at AU53.

beautiful, congrats on the addition

 

Yes, because somehow I parsed that "MS62" as "XF" like the second one. No real idea how I managed it, but once I thought they considered it "worn," I evaluated it based on "wear" that wasn't there.

You'd hate to spend an hour in my head.

 

And to add, my statement remains valid. I'd like that first one a whole lot better at AU53.

 

ha, I would have liked the price a lot better as a 53
