The original sale wasn't difficult to find, and I agree with the consensus that the coin is undergraded. I intentionally withheld where the coin was to try to get opinions without people seeing the grade.  Will post the results in about an hour. |

The reveal. The coin is graded AG-3. I think (and so do the vast majority of you) that it is worthy of at least a G-4. I did end up winning an auction for this one. This will be the oldest coin in my collection by a full quarter century!  I blew my coin budget for the year, and was planning to focus on getting more gold but this one just spoke to me!  (Seller's picture, I do not have the coin in hand yet). Edited by Thundercoin

You said it would be an hour, but it was only 59 minutes!  Just kidding.  I think that piece is very undergraded. By the way, great coin. |

I hope you 'picked it' at AG03 prices, definitely under graded.  |

This was one of the 5 coins that I was tracking. A beautiful coin and you picked it up at a good price. I ended up buying the $3 gold and a quarter eagle. |

I would have blown my year coin budget on that for AG3 money. Very well played! |

You weren't the only one tracking it, I think there were 16 people tracking it going into the live auction. I figured I would get outbid for sure, as it went right at my maximum price. Congrats on your purchases! I have been trying to get a $3 gold piece all year but keep coming up short, I actually bid on one earlier in this auction and was quickly outbid. I don't know if I will get one now that I spent the money on this piece. For some reason my boss doesn't set aside extra coin money for me!  |

This was well-bought indeed. We should issue specific CCF Seal of Approval stickers to compete with CAC for coins like this.  |

The rim ding keeps it at G6.

This coin is worthy of a resubmit. No way is this AG3

That's a head-scratcher. I could see a conservative grader going G04 but AG3? It's better than that.

This is definitely a case where I bought the coin and not the slab! And I like the idea of CCF stickers! |
