Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 1:16 pm This is one of two gold pieces that I got when my mother passed. I apologize for the picture quality, I don't have a decent camera. These were taken with a magnify glass velcrowed to my IPad which do not give the coin any of the justice it deserves. I was just hoping for your opinion. Thank you. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * * Edited by Staff to clarify topic title. Titles are important! * Report this Post to the Staff

WheatBackPenny Valued Member United States 406 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 5:03 pm As far as I am certain, the correct weight for a a five dollar gold piece is 8.359 grams, so you have the correct weight. Report this Post to the Staff
Tootallious Rest in Peace United States 1559 Posts	Posted 09/12/2017 5:13 pm I know it's real! I just wish I had a decent camera so I can post better pictures. Comparing it with PCGS photograde, my thoughts were ms 60. but I' am by far, not experienced enough to be confident with that guesstamation! Report this Post to the Staff
