Usual GTG...

Bonus points for guessing the slabbing company and grade...

GTG-1853-US-One-$-Gold-Type-1



About the coin... this is the smallest US coin ever minted (13mm)... But not the lightest... A little over 4 million were minted... https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-17521



For those who need a hint to guess the company, there is actually enough information in the image - look at 9 o'clock on the reverse, AFAIK only one company used that style of prong in their holder.

And if you think you are being sneaky and go browsing my PhotoBucket account, this is the only image I've uploaded of THIS coin.

MS-62, you did such a good job cropping the photo I wouldn't have a clue who the TPG is.

I cannot tell which grading company it was graded by, but I would think MS-62.
