Had to post this... .50 cent roll of pennies from Bank of America here in California and this was in it! Kind of a shock but a nice one. Not even sure how this could happen, it sticks out like a sore thumb. It has some scratches on it and a big abrasion across the bottom of the head dress you cant really see in the pictures. Maybe from a coin counter? Picture is not great, I forgot to take a picture before I put it in a holder. Anyone know what grade this would be? I dont have gold coins, this is my first!   |

Young - My first reaction was that it was a foriegn coin after buying 400 in dollar rolls and getting canadian and game tokens. When I noticed what it was my first reaction I dont think I can post here lol. )

No way!
Seems like an F-12, judging by the lack of detail on the end of the man's headdress feather @ 5 o'clock. I'm not a pro grader.

Yea. That's what my first reaction would be. I agree with Fatman, go to Vegas...now! Anyway, Happy Hunting in the New Year.

Wait, I just thought of something. This could have been a "drop" of sorts. A drop, for those who don't know, is where someone takes a rare or different coin and puts it back into circulation. Maybe, instead of circulation, they were roll hunters who wanted to give some other hunter a New Years gift.

This seems to happen a couple times a year.
Congratulations, one heck of a find.

 That's a pretty sweet way to get your first gold coin. Grade? You got a piece of gold for one cent...and it's really old. |

It took me about 5 minutes to write this reply. I was too busy wondering why I do not live in your town.
