My first classic GOLD

I'm thinking this is AU, maybe cleaned, but I know these scratch very easily, but I really have NO idea with this series, other than I have wanted one forever! 1 spot in the 7070 Gold Page done!

Im OK with the cleaning, I sort of thought that it was based on the hairlines, but I wasn't sure if these get easily scratched.

They do get easily scratched, but not like this.

There is probably little if any collector value to this common date in this state - not something to hang on to for appreciation.

Would I do better to sell it and find a righteous example in a slab to crack out for my 7070?

Keep researching, go to local coin shops, shows etc... handle a bunch of them and get an eye developed for cleaned versus not. Once you're comfortable, make a purchase.

I would send this coin back. You don't want this as an example in your 7070 hole. We all know the excitement of a new coin, especially gold, but you also want to look at it every time and not feel like you have made an uneducated choice.

Good luck

AU-55 cleaned. Photo lighting makes the coin look worse than it probably is in hand. This coin is fine for plugging a hole in an album. JMHO
