This coin was given to me 20 years ago and sat in a drawer until found again during a recent move. I have assumed it is worth the melt value only but want to verify whether others agree. I am an utter novice so any advice is appreciated.   Thanks in advance for any information - Richard |

It has good clean fields and is at least AU in condition and could be MS it should bring in more than just melt price.

A common date but nice grade. That one would be worth sending to a TPG., big price jumps when it comes to Uncirculated gold above MS-62. Your coin appears to have very little bag marking and scuffs. |

Can you take pictures of it under better lighting? I agree, from these pics it looks possibly MS, maybe as high as 63 or 64.....but it's hard to tell with the lighting. I see fairly strong luster bands and few scuffs. You definitely want to handle this one with care(cotton gloves), and do not attempt a cleaning.

I agree it looks very nice and will probably grade MS as I do not see any rubs on the high points and the fields look very clean.

Very nice coin! Probably at least a high AU with a good possibility of MS.

If you plan on keeping that, I suggest a 2x2 for safety of the coin. If your planning on selling it, you really should look up on how to send to a place like PCGS or NGC for grading and slabbing and authenticating. |

nice coin broseph. def higher then melt, PCGS AU 55 if you ask me, even maybe MS 60. melt is 820, get it slabbed and you are looking at maybe a 900-1k coin to the right dealer.
