ThisIsFun Pillar of the Community United States 2480 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 3:42 pm Looks like most of the gold coins we have are damaged. I'm trying to figure out what they are worth and am having trouble figuring out not only grade but how the damage figures in to the possible value. Haven't looked closely at all of them yet and I find more damage when I look at enlarged photos. Hope I find some relatively unscathed gold. Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 4:36 pm Interesting how this coin has sustained lots of minor impact damage, but not that much wear. My guess is that it spent some of it's early life in a miner's pocket, along with gravel, that may have come off mineral samples. If only this coin could speak! Because of the damage, VG.

vermontensium Moderator United States 16679 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 6:59 pm Appears to be XF Details. Unfortunately to a collector, not worth much over melt in this shape. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
XavierOfGreen Pillar of the Community United States 2589 Posts	Posted 12/08/2012 11:46 pm I agree that its XF details, but these things are always worth premiums over melt. Even holed examples are regularly selling on ebay for $30 premiums over melt value so long as they have a date thats visible. If it weren't for the damage it would be an XF 40 in my opinion. -XoG Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 01:08 am It looks like EF details to me. Cleaned and possibly ex jewelry. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/09/2012 02:48 am XF Details - Mount Removed. $82 worth of gold there. Maybe $120 retail to the right buyer. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
