smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 10/22/2018 2:44 pm Obverse rims show metal movement...maybe the coin has been removed from a mount? Report this Post to the Staff
09rich15 New Member United States 33 Posts	Posted 10/22/2018 3:41 pm The Obv. is darker than the Rev., which may indicate that it was a pendant at one time or another. The coin has definite AU details. The Rev. maybe more. The several rim damages detracts a lot of value and I also don't like the pits or abrasions that the word LIBERTY has. The rarity of the coin and price difference between the grades would certainly be of major consideration. So not more than EF-45 is my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

Jon Brand Pillar of the Community United States 1023 Posts	Posted 10/22/2018 6:14 pm 53 is my guess but lacking eye appeal for me. SOmething going on with the surfaces, but could be the photo. Nice bold C. Edited by Jon Brand 10/22/2018 6:14 pm Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18665 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 10:07 am AU50 details. ED due to previous mounting Report this Post to the Staff
paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 10/23/2018 8:44 pm Rough planchets are the norm for Charlotte gold. My grade AU53 and quite possibly AU55 depending on how it looks in hand. I think this coin would straight grade as a Charlotte issue, whereas it might have a harder time if it were a different date from, say, San Fran or Philly.
