Congrats. you nailed it  Excellent find. It is the wounded Eagle variety and to this date there is a dispute if it is a Die gouge or else. Definitely a 2x2 worthy and does carry a premium. |

It displays sharp details and I do see finger prints on both Revs. and Obvs. AU-55

Thanks Chase,Is there a way to rid this coin of those pesky fingerprints without destroying any value?

I would say no, I have tried to remove finger prints off coins before but no luck! yours seem minor if they are yours and fairly recent they MIGHT come off by wiping it with a damp cotton cloth otherwise may be another member might have a suggestion as I am not sure how Pure Acetone will react with cladding of manganese brass, I have not tried it on golden dollars.

I do appreciate it Chase, I do have some other coins I can do some testing on. I think it would be worth the effort. If I can go from 55 to 58 is a major plus to me!

I feel that this particular error has a huge potential to increase in market demand over the years.
In the meantime, just keep it quietly tucked away, and allow it to mature like a good wine.
