A collector friend of mine walked in today and unfortunately has to sell the following $10 Eagle.Thought some of you would appreciate this really nice piece of history:

Wow, that is quite a piece, but selling it raw... maybe not a good decision.

Really spectacular though!

Something about it looks fishy to me, but it may just be the poor quality pictures. It's definitely something you want to get authenticated.

He won't get it authenticated. The owner of the coin is a serious collector. He has some amazing pieces, and one of the best Bust-half collections I have ever seen. He has written some articles for several coin magazines about bust half-dollars. However, I don't think he owns one slabbed coin. He really despises the "plastic tomb".
His asking price is reasonable. The buyer will slab it and send it to auction.
Yes, the pictures are bad. I didn't have a decent camera with me. He is grading it at XF. It looks about right but I really don't work a lot with gold coins.
Nice Eagle though. Definitely the best one I have handled to date. I wonder about the journey that coin has traveled?
I'll try to get some decent pics tomorrow.

early gold

Coins like these are out of my price range but I can always drool over them.

Are you buying this?

I would love to get my hands on a piece of early gold someday. I will take your word that he knows what he is doing and the coin is authentic. EF looks about right however the pictures don't seem to show a coin that would be considered problem free. The coin looks cleaned/polished and sort of has the feel of an ex jewelry piece. Still a nice coin though and worth owning!

It could be the light on the picture... otherwise if/when you find gold this colour it has been cleaned...

Still a fantastic coin.... I love it!
