Melt?

What are you going to do with the $150 you just saved?

I don't think I can call this one Mint State, but it's just about as nice as you'll ever see in a high-AU example.

I meant to say bullion value.

I buy all his US "junk silver" today was the first time in a long time he got a gold piece in.

I could not say no, the coin is beautiful

It is at least an AU-58 with a possibility of being market graded a low MS. An excellent coin for the price!

Could go low MS and is at least AU55. That is nice pick up at current melt level ($382) as it certainly looks to be a $500 piece (retail) easily.

Yep, AU-58 with very clean surfaces. Most AU gold pieces have lots of small contact marks. This one appears to have let a sheltered life. Excellent buy at bullion price!
