Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6392 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 12:08 pm I'm always on the lookout for scarce date gold in low grade since such coins may sell for little more than bullion value. I don't know what potential upside there may be if/when I want to sell but I enjoy the hunt. This coin is officially my lowest-grade half eagle. With an original mintage of 26,700 it's seldom seen and very costly in high grade. Not so expensive like this! What grade do think it deserves? Report this Post to the Staff

muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7194 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 12:31 pm Wow, she has really been around. Probably a coin in the "good" range. How many people used her? How did this extremely worn coin avoid the government withdrawal of the 30's? I have never seen such a worn gold piece, cool coin. Report this Post to the Staff
jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 12:32 pm I say F-12+ Compared it to a G-10 76CC on the Heritage site. Yours is better. Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 2:47 pm It is a gorgeous coin circulated gold should really carry a premium! I would put this one between VG-8 and VG-10... probably closer to VG-10 Edited by fenton 12/02/2011 2:48 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6392 Posts	Posted 12/02/2011 2:49 pm FYI, the weight of this coin is 8.11 grams. Since the original/standard weight is 8.359 grams, it has lost 0.249 grams, or about 3% of its original weight. Report this Post to the Staff
