Well I finally bought my first gold coin. AU53 from my local coin store which he purchased for me from Scotsmans Coins in St. Louis, MO. I am going for a $2 1/2 dollar Gold Indian next.   |

congrats, Wornslick! Acquiring your first gold coin will be a special memory for a long time.
I'd love to see clearer pics.

Yes, sharper pics would help for sure.

I'm wondering if it recently came out of a bezel. The rims look like they may be flat spotted .... especially in the first set of pictures.

I see what your talking about westernsky but I believe it's the lighting. I don't think it was mount removed.
Better edge pics would confirm it.

I can try and take edge pics, any side and any part of the coin?

Hard to get a sense of the surfaces. In the first set of photos it looks buffed and cleaned. In the others it looks more normal. Is this in a 2x2 and graded by seller? My guess is it would not straight grade but very, very hard to tell.

Yes it's in a 2X2. It was graded by Scotsmans. The first two pics were taken in different lighting than the last two which are more like the coin looks like. They was also taken using a 10X Loupe, trying to get some better pics.

I honestly cannot tell what this coin might grade or if it has problems. You can always send it to ANACS for a quick TPG and if it straight grades close to what your dealer said it was then I guess everything is ok. Any legit gold coin is a good thing pretty much! |

Thanks for trying westernsky, I realize the pics makes it hard to make a call on it. The coin store owner did put it on a tester and it showed it as real. I have done business with Scotsmans before and I take them at their word. https://www.scoins.com/Edited by Wornslick

Are these any better at all? I tried a few things differently this time.   |

Can you take it out of the holder and retake pictures, it would take most of the glare and distortions out of the way, more details would help in grading.
