Errers and Varietys.

I do not see anything to make it AU, so I have it in MS territory. Now, did PCGS agree?  |

Gold coins can be very tricky to grade. I'll be looking forward to the grade reveal.  Errers and Varietys.

For comparison purposes, this one here is an MS64...  |

Marve65, (To bring up another point in this conversation, thank you BTW) There were under 240,000 of these struck on soft-gold. I don't think the die would flatten its form and deteriorate that much, IHMO.... |

Looks like it's time to open my "Numismatic Grading Standards" book there are very few coins that you can apply a standard grading guideline to. one must take into consideration the series, mint (if there is one). gold is a different animal. weaker strike pressure. there are some markers here that the coin is MS and some that make it appear that it had some light circulation. AU58 or MS63. I'm leaning MS |
