^^ that is a great addition for your first gold coin!

Grading isn't really my thing, but gold coins are always graded a little more generously to allow for gold being a little softer than other metals. The details on your coin look to be well preserved :) I think you deserve some dancing fruit

Very nice. I'll go AU-50 as well and I disagree to a large extent with the middle of the recommendation above.

A coin dealer once said to many years ago:
"Silver wears away - gold wears down."
Another AU-50, if only to make me feel better about the few that I have.

Yes, I did.

Not much more though. Buying US gold, or any other US coin for the matter, in Sweden adds a little premium over the average ebay price. On the other hand, I don't have to pay expensive shipping or even worse, ruiing the risk of customs getting their hands on it and add a 25% import tax...
Rest in Peace
