Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 07/30/2021 12:33 pm PCGS Coin Facts estimates that only 75 examples exist of this date, in all grades. That would make this (probably) the rarest coin in my collection. What do you think? Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3638 Posts	Posted 07/30/2021 1:17 pm Yowza! That's a really nice coin. The no motto reverse types wear a bit differently than the motto reverse. I'm in the mid-AU ballpark here. The obverse looks AU-55, but the reverse looks closer to AU-53. That's as far as I feel comfortable going. I'll take my seat, shut up, and listen to the gold experts now. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/30/2021 1:59 pm AU-55 sounds right to me as well. Super coin. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18657 Posts	Posted 07/31/2021 09:42 am technically I see it as AU55 but I can see it slabbed at AU53 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 08/01/2021 3:37 pm Thanks for the comments! PCGS grade is AU-53 which I think is fair. The coin has quite a lot of prooflike flash in the fields. It's a beauty and a welcome addition to the collection. Report this Post to the Staff
