Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 04/15/2008 11:58 pm Here's another raw $10 gold piece from the dealers "on sale" tray. I think this one is a nice AU-55 with better-than-average surfaces. There is even a hint of proof-like reflectivity on the reverse. I made my final decision to purchase when I learned the mintage was a paltry 49,000 pieces. Any comments/opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 04/17/2008 6:21 pm J_h_s, Well, I'm as sure as I can be without having it slabbed. I compared the reverse to certified reference examples on the Heritage site and critical features like the size, shape, and location of the mintmark match up perfectly. I also checked the weight. The weight standard for the Liberty $10 gold piece is 16.718 grams. My 1895-S weighs in at 16.697 grams which would be well within tolerance. Is there something about this coin that strikes you as questionable? Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 04/18/2008 11:00 pm As I recall, I found the entire alignment of the eagle respective to the lettering a little different than another image I looked at on line. That doesn't make me astute or right. Report this Post to the Staff
