Acquired this by trading a duplicate type coin. An 1897 Liberty Gold raw coin plus cash. I had three, an 1897, 1900 and 1907. The 1897 was obviously the lowest grade of the three. That Liberty was about AU55. I still have the same amount of gold and filled the hole in my type set for $200.00. Pretty happy to have a long time wanted example for my type set. Still have a few smaller denomination Liberty types and a Three Dollar Princess on my want list. Priority is the Three Dollar Princess.   |

Congrats! Nice one. The gold type coins are tough to assemble, but are definitely beautiful.

Wow, Congratulations on that wonderful coin!!
I was going to say "beautiful" (which it is), but I didn't want to parrot others.
Is that an old holder?

Congrats on acquiring the complete double eagle type set!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

There's a hit or light bag mark scratch on the rising sun that goes up leftward to the field. But I like the head of Liberty not having a (not too) flattened nose. Still happy with it. kind of blends in nicely with the others. Wouldn't want it being too nice now would I?  |
