I truly enjoyed the PAN coin show a week ago, and I came home with this coin, simply because I fell in love with it. I don't collect gold - but sometimes a coin speaks to you.

Would you care to guess the grade NGC gave it, and CAC concurred with?

I'd go VF35 unless there's some luster left that's not showing, then it has a shot at 40. I'd like it better as a 35. This one saw some use over the years.

VF35 love the deep copper gold look of it too Liz, very nice. And a neat radial die crack off Liberty's head to the rim too!

You guys are good! I think my photography gives it less life than in hand. The CAC-approved PCGS grade is XF40.

Thanks for your comments. I am afraid that I like this coin so well that I'm contemplating some kind of collection of well-circulated gold!

Excellent pick up Liz
You can do well price wise on circulated gold and grab some early year issues
