SCDave Valued Member United States 118 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 12:01 am I'll give a hint, it's in an OGH so it's not a details grade and the scratches seen in the reverse field above the eagles wing tip feathers are on the slab not the coin. I bought it because I liked the toning. I'll post a pic of the slab tomorrow night Report this Post to the Staff

I'd say PCGS AU50 which could have been a 53 or even 55 with a cleaner cheek. Toned gold is tough to find and very beautiful. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 10:27 am My first impression was this coin could be graded MS-63 or 64. The reverse looks uncirculated and relatively clean which is tempting me to give it a 64 but the obverse is not as well lit which makes me unsure how much chatter there is. I'll guess MS-63 because I am just not sure. This should be fun for those who want to guess later to see such a wide range of guesses. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 10/12/2013 12:01 pm The marks on the obverse are not consistent with a Mint State coin, regardless of PCGS' opinion. A strong reverse strike (I think) obfuscates the circulation; I have it at AU55, possibly 58. Report this Post to the Staff

Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 10/13/2013 10:18 am I was thinking it was circulated, but your picture with the slab shows the coin looks better than the first 2 pics. BTW, gold doesn't "tone" per se (one of the reason they use it in electronics), but you do get slightly different colored gold depending on where it's from... Report this Post to the Staff
