Hey guys.
I have learned so much from this forum. Today I made my first double eagle purchase and I'm just curious what you experts think the grade is.?

Its hard to trust the person buying or selling but I know I can get an unbiased answer here. I have my own opinion but I'm really excited and curious to see the response.
Also...


What price should dealers pay for this coin today being ungraded?

Is it worth it to have graded?


THANKS SO MUCH FOR TAKING THE TIME TO READ THIS!

Looks AU-58 (an old "slider" Unc.) with a nasty cheek. Not worth sending to TPG.

"Slider" means an "About Uncirculated" (AU) coin, with just enough wear and luster impairment to miss the uncirculated grade standards. I agree with this opinion on your coin.

Certification may be a realistic option if you want to sell your coin someday. Buyers would be more comfortable with the authenticity guarantee that certification provides. ANACS is the low-cost option.
Rest in Peace

They are running a great summer special too! 5/$75 with free return shipping, $10/per coin over 5. No limit to the number of coins.

Oh man. I was thinking this would be a 60 for sure. I also made sure to post the photos that I felt showed as much of the flaws as possible. Anyone wanna chime in on what I could expect to sell this in today's market .?

I am also in agreement with a slider status for this coin. Luster breaks, hits on the face I see it being an au58....just saw a bit of circulation. Gold melt on these coins is around $1300 right now...there isn't much premium on these unless its a rare date or a better uncirculated coin like ms63 and up. If you needed to sell it you could probably get $1350-$1400 max.

dubeagle - the term "slider" essentially refers to a coin which, before the grading services, was commonly accepted as "uncirculated" in bulk bullion transactions, even though today it falls short on close inspection. This term applies equally to Morgan dollars.

I took about 100 pictures of this coin and then reviewed them to find the ones that made the coin look as flawed as possible. Just to be on the safe end. But here is some pics that most pictures looknow like.

AU details because it has been cleaned. Lots of hairlines on the obv. As for what a dealer would pay, probably spot gold plus 5%. I would pay $1275 for the coin.

A "slider" is an about uncirculated coin the just misses UNC. I know the term as a coin that would fool an inexperienced collector when presented by a dealer.
