trdhrdr007 Pillar of the Community United States 2335 Posts	Posted 01/17/2019 5:59 pm I went to a local estate sale today. When I checked out the jewelry section I spotted a $5 gold piece in a pendant bezel. The price was right, it looked good, & based on experience I figured the combined weight was about right so I bought it. When I got out to my truck I took a closer look & realized it had a CC mint mark. Once I got it home I gently pried up the tabs & removed it from the bezel. My digital scale only goes to 1/10 of a gram. The coin weighs 8.3 grams. First 2 pictures are under natural light & last 2 are sidelit by an LED. The LED lit pictures make the coin look polished but it's not like that in hand. What do y'all think? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 01/20/2019 10:07 pm Excellent buy at what I presume was a bullion-related price. How are the edges? Based on your natural-light photos this coin looks like it would grade as problem-free. Report this Post to the Staff
