bakerskyline8 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 06/30/2015 10:59 pm I purchased this Gold $1 about a month ago while on a trip to Boston and it is my first gold coin. I was wondering what you experts thought as to the grade and condition of the coin. I realize my images aren't the best but it is really, really, really hard to get good images of these tiny coins. Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

peaece13 Valued Member United States 246 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 07:18 am I see AU55 range, with what appears to be nice luster on the first obverse picture. Nice coin, love these little dollars. Report this Post to the Staff

bakerskyline8 Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/01/2015 9:03 pm Thanks for your input everyone! The reverse has cartwheel luster remaining although not as much as the obverse. The lighting on the reverse was also different because the pictures I took with the same setup as the obverse were all blurry. This is what led to the difference in coloration and visible luster in the images. The surfaces are much more similar in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
