Just bought my first gold coin and I'm a bit hesitant to post but here it is.

1909-Quarter-Eagle

The strike isn't super great, but I don't see too much wear on it. The scratches on the reverse are much more prominent in the pics than in hand. Does that look like a cleaning attempt or is it natural? Since the coin is so small you don't really see those too much.

I paid $235 - how did I do? Opinions?

It's a great coin! I'd give it an AU-55; just a bit of wear on the top of the folded wing on the reverse and bit of chatter on both sides.

At $235, it's steal! (usually one would need about $100 more required for this coin!)

Cool thanks! I bought it at a shop near where I work - not sure I trust ebay for gold yet. Certainly not raw like this one.

That is a steal. I love these gold coins.
I would have to go with AU-55 as well. Gold is tough for me to try and grade being the novice that I am.

Great coin and PRICE!!!!

Wow! I wouldn't hesitate to post that. Nice color. Yea it was wiped/cleaned a tad, but nothing nasty. High AU details, net XF/AU with the cleaning. I think you got it about $30 too cheap. Congratulations. Be careful about fakes. Raw 2.5 Indians are a NIGHTMARE!
