Kefiroth Pillar of the Community United States 1431 Posts	Posted 09/11/2014 7:19 pm 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. Report this Post to the Staff
sjh241 Valued Member United States 386 Posts	Posted 09/11/2014 7:35 pm 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. Edited by sjh241 09/11/2014 7:38 pm Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/11/2014 8:21 pm 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! Report this Post to the Staff
