The 1888-S is just a bullion coin, worth spot + some percentage (usually less than 15%). All but one of the gold coins I'll be posting from now on are just bullion coins -- part of my gold stack. Apart from S-mint gold bullion, I do have about 4 silver coins (one CC, three S), and a gold dollar (S) coming up.

Before we leave the seateds, I found this 1858-S in a box. Can anyone explain the flaw in Liberty's right hand? I always thought it was damage, but I wonder if it's a strike flaw.

Did they use money in the old west? I thought it was just pouches of gold that they tossed on the table in exchange for a bottle of burbon or a new gun. And... those were the only things they sold.

Cascade that 1881 S is still looking good. I am glad it found
a good home. Good example that coins can hold up in 2x2's.
That coin must have been there over 40 years.

---------------------------
Thq not sure what's going on there. Something happen to Liberty's
hand/finger mmaybe just a hit .. or strike thru

1887 G$1

Although that's a nice piece, I don't think it belongs in this thread.

Pepactonius- Numismatic value or not, that '88-S double eagle is a good looking piece.

For the record ham, I intend to post a grubby 1916-D walker on the last day of this thread, so I see your 1887 gold dollar as a nice precedent. Even if it was made using Colorado gold, it's a coin of the old west via Philly.

And come to think of it Denver is in the old west too.
