My first post in this subforum...still not sure how to get really accurate pics. Newbie trying to learn about my inherited coin collection so any information welcome. This one is in a PCGS slab from the late '80s I think. I'll post how it was graded soon, but what do you think?   |

For Dahlonega gold it looks pretty good. I'll guess XF45 with a 50 being possible.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and give it an AU53.
Whatever it is, it is a nice coin in my book!

What a way to start out!  I agree this is likely AU50 or AU53. It's an example of the Small D variety based on the mint mark. -MV |

AU-50, these usually common with a soft strike.

Looks great for a D since these are often mushy strikes. I say AU. Would like to see what the TPG says. |

AU53. Your father had one heck of a taste for great coins, thanks for sharing.

What's the standard amount of time to wait before posting the grade? It varys by the OP. Most usually post 1 or 2 days after. |

Probably AU-53 max due to friction in the fields which has dulled most of the luster. Actual wear is very slight and the coin looks very choice. Beautiful (and valuable) piece! |

Beautiful and desirable coin. I grade minimum EF45.
Now I want one too.
