Snagged this for melt price. Figured I couldn't beat melt price for civil war gold, especially R8 gold... doesn't hurt to check your local pawn shops, just saying!

Congratulations on a bargain price for this scarce date!
Might have been lightly cleaned but if so it's not obvious. Lots of small marks but it doesn't look like a jewelry piece. Are there any edge problems, like scratches from a bezel?

If edges are good should make XF-45, with a shot at a straight grade.
If it were mine I'd likely submit it to ANACS for cheap authentication and variety attribution.
