The gouge on and around the cheek look bad enough to detail it. It does have nice color. If it's MS then UNC Details - Damaged.

I guess they could be from an aggressively polished die?

Ebay is not the best place for bullion. I try to sell straight to collectors/stackers when possible. You should be able to get $700/roll straight away. $750 on eBay nets you about $640 without a store.

Although the 1888 might have a rub, I'll guess 64 for each of them.

The coin went for $36,300 including the 10% buyers premium.

Thanks Steve. Greysheet in 66RB CAC Green is $26.4k for this one and it's guaranteed to hit 66RB CAC Green. The seller is likely a bit disappointed but it still did okay. I expected it to hit $50k though.

The result pales in comparison to the MS65+RD CAC Green piece that ended last Sunday realizing $49,496 w/Buyer's premium. Greysheet for it is $28.8k 65RD CAC Green (w/o the +) Here's that coin: https://www.greatcollections.com/Co...gle-Eye-Seal

Looking at the Great Photos side-by-side I prefer the RB piece. The uncertainty in the financial markets may have hurt but you never know. Here they are, RB top.

I don't see anything under the bow. It does appear to be a VF+ details, genuine, damaged 1857 G$1. :)

I think it could reach MS66. The strike is a touch weak on the reverse and the luster probably keeps it below 67. You really need 67 to even consider grading and 67+ makes it worthwhile. It doesn't look that good but it is very nice.

Check out the windows on Monticello on this 67+. This is a $200 coin.

2 - Most of the coins I want a pretty current so finding 70s is pretty easy until I go looking for a 1976 Ike Proof, then the best I can find is a 69


There are plenty of PR70DCAM 1976 Ikes available but the prices are steep. You're better off sticking with a 69 that looks flawless to the naked eye.

Here's 5 Morgans selling for below melt value. These look like decent counterfeits. Buyer beware.

Thanks everyone. Where do you see the wear that makes it AU in your eyes? Jacrispies--interesting assessment, why do you say 60 (with the implication that it doesn't really deserve MS)?


A true AU58 should have only luster breaks on the high points and/or fields, "wear" may not be noticeable. This coin exhibits turbulence in the fields and has luster breaks across the high points. I think it's a high AU coin that has likely been cleaned. It still looks pretty good but not MS good imo. As always ymmv.

Looks like there is slight damage just above the eye (obverse) and a possible cleaning. I'd guess AU Details. That drops the value under $2k. If it straight graded AU then it goes over $2,500. I wouldn't expect it to bring $3k retail. As always ymmv.

I agree with BadThad's comments. It does need to be authenticated. There are spots on the rims that don't look squared off, particularly on the reverse from about 10:00 to 3:00 looks rounded. Same thing on the obverse from around 12:00 to 3:00.

I hope it is a matte proof but it could just be a very, very nice business strike.

It appears to be a high AU impaired Matte proof. It should straight grade from what can be seen.
