This 1900 Philadelphia Half Eagle has been in the family a long time. As a kid, I remember seeing it wrapped in my Grandfather's shaving kit. I've tried to get the best photos I could, but they seem to make this smooth and uncirculated coin look pitted. I've done the best I can, and wonder if anyone would take a shot at grading it. All I can say is that it's a terrible shame the double eagle has disappeared over time.
Reverse looks mint state with good luster but obverse fields show friction so AU-55 may be accurate. The hit on the neck isn't very obtrusive. Decent gold type coin overall.
Grandfather probably snatched this out of circulation and kept it fairly nice over the years. AU58. I don think the coin was messed with but the photos have a little too much glare to know for sure
