dsfreeworld Pillar of the Community United States 4337 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 9:30 pm My first ever US Gold. I think I got lucky on the price. I paid $310 for this coin, did I do well? I'd like to say it looks EF but it has lots of surface hits to the fields and the relief and I have no clue how to grade these properly tx for any help Edited by dsfreeworld 05/12/2013 9:33 pm Report this Post to the Staff

morgandollarvam1878 New Member 11 Posts	Posted 05/12/2013 9:52 pm I would guess XF40 Details as the coins surface does show imperfections. I would also suspect old cleaning, and as far as pricing $310 is not bad at all for this piece IMO. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/13/2013 01:23 am Should have no problem making XF40. The price is good for an early $2.50 Lib in decent shape. There are no signs of a harsh cleaning and I feel pretty sure it would holder problem-free. Compare it to this NGC VF35 piece that went for $345 on Heritage a couple years ago: http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?hdnJu...4381&x=0&y=0 ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 05/13/2013 04:09 am I like it at VF35 could go EF40 just as easily. Gold is graded a bit easier than other coins by TPGs in general.
