Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 751 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 10:02 pm I learned from this forum that these were apparently often struck weakly, so I will guess EF(45). Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 10:41 pm Based on appearance alone, I'd have to say VF-30/35, but an EF grade seems more likely given your comments. Report this Post to the Staff
Jake the Dog Valued Member United States 226 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 10:51 pm I'm at a VF-35, not due to the strike but from the visible circulation/wear. Love the coin by the way! I really need to spiral out and get at least once example of a Dahlonega minted coin. Edited by Jake the Dog 08/07/2020 11:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/07/2020 11:17 pm Given what it is and where it came from: XF40. The way the market sometimes "grades" these pieces an AU50 grade would be no shock whatsoever. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 02:04 am I'll join the VF-35 crowd. Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5663 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 02:16 am I'd also say VF-35. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 02:27 am VF35 here as well Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 09:25 am VF35 looks like an old old cleaning but I guess it doesn't matter since she's in a straight holder Report this Post to the Staff
jimbucks Pillar of the Community United States 4691 Posts	Posted 08/08/2020 2:46 pm Here is the answer. Soft struck southern gold. Edited by jimbucks 08/08/2020 2:47 pm Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 08/09/2020 1:58 pm Seems like a very fair grade for that piece. It is not obviously overgraded as some "C&D" mint gold clearly are. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
