Hey everyone picked this up the other day, it's been cleaned and has rim dings, I got it for scrap I paid 300$. I'm able to get more for this price just making sure it's a good deal. I love it since it's so old and only my 2nd gold coin.

In my opinion, good deal all day long. You got it at bullion price and I would rather have an old gold piece vs a new bullion coin.

I don't see any downside.

XF-40 Details.

I can't see the surfaces well, but it could go AU-50 problem-free.

The piece has been cleaned and there are obvious hairlines on the reverse which would make it a "no grade."

BUT it is a "No Motto" type half eagle which makes it a lot scarcer than the averge $5 gold coin. It's a great place holder for the price.

AU-55 details and a very good deal for $300. I don't see any obvious damage and hairlines aren't that bad. Overall it has a polished look but not unattractive.

I would certainly have bought it at that price!
