XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 01/05/2012 11:39 pm One of a number of coins I bought today (and the most expensive) was this 1879 S $5 gold piece. I'm not much good at grading us classic gold, so I was wondering if anyone would care to post an opinion on the grade. Thanks, -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
