No apologies needed SmallEagle. I thought (silly me) that this would not attract much attention...was I wrong! I was just looking for slabbed 7070 coins for my gold "page" and thought that I would share with the CCF. This one was the first "die crack" that I have seen on a gold piece, although I just started looking for gold last month. Nice coin and congrats!

SmallEagle that first coin is amazing and even though the second one is a nice one as well I don't believe I have ever seen anything like the first one on a Gold coin before. I have seen similar on silver but never gold

Thanks! Neither had I, nor any of the dealers I've shown it to. There were three people going up against this one at auction and I wasn't about to let it go easy... I ended up paying AU58 money for an AU53 coin but I like it far too much.

Thanks! That one was actually a cherrypick at the most recent ANA show. I already had an AU50 CAC example of the 1808/7 BD-2 (an R4 coin) but I saw this R6 variety in the case of a friend of mine and he was willing to trade it for my example with a bit of cash on top, at a fraction over his cost.

Very interesting die cracks on all of the gold coins pictured. I would not either buy or pay a premium for a coin with such a prominent die crack as to me it is too much of a distraction. Great conversation pieces though.
