Thanks for posting. I have the same coin in a few different years. Will be interested in the feedback. I am new and just starting to understand and value about 400 US coins from 1848-1980

Thanks, Coinfrog, Grape!

I bought it as AU at just about 10% above melt.

I think that I can see a small amount of wear on the hair above Liberty's eye, but the remaining luster suggests a higher grade than the wear would suggest.

Probably has suffered some sliding friction, being placed face down in a drawer, because the reverse grades better than the obverse.

Grading the obverse only,
AU-55

I don't see any wear on this one. Just a bit baggy. MS-62.

Thanks again everyone!

IndianGoldEagle, yes it definitely isn't the prettiest example I've seen but I bought it when gold was lower. At gold weight it's already an almost break even for me. Thanks again, Blair
