Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 11:04 am I traded in a Canada 1 0z gold Maple Leaf to buy this coin; I thought it was an exceptionally nice raw double eagle. Most raw Liberty $20 coins are very baggy and/or have some kind of cleaning issue. What are your thoughts on grade? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 11:26 am Still kind of a little skritchy, but very little evidence of circulation is noted. I suspect a TPG would go no worse than AU58, and reality I don't think it's seen circulation. In a trade for a Maple Leaf, somewhat in your favor. Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/28/2011 12:44 pm My guess would also be AU-58. It has fewer bag marks than my MS-61, but it does not appear to have much luster on the devices, which indicates to me that it is lightly circulated. Very good trade. :-) Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 03:13 am There is no circulation wear on this coin. For this reason, it has to be graded MS 'something'. I think you made a good trade. Report this Post to the Staff
w1a9c8k5 Pillar of the Community United States 1348 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 12:50 pm If graded this would get labeled as "cleaned" correct? Not sure if they do something different on gold. Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 12:57 pm yes it would be labeled a problem coin Report this Post to the Staff
johnny54321 Rest in Peace United States 4849 Posts	Posted 07/29/2011 1:10 pm I'm seeing some hairlines too, but I chalked it up to circulation hairlines and am not really seeing the cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
