BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 12:29 am My concern would be that's it's genuine. Which it appears to be. $2250 in gold right now. Yes, I'd guess it's VF+. The obverse reed mark is large and the surfaces show no luster. It's all in the gold. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

manosgerms Valued Member United States 136 Posts	Posted 06/25/2024 5:08 pm So my opinion would be that IF this grades out it would indeed be high VF but I am not sure it will grade out as I think that the scratch on the obverse at 7 o'clock is bad enough for the coin to be details as damaged. I am pretty confident CAC would call this coin damaged, but I think there is a reasonable chance PCGS and NGC would also do it because it seems as if the scratch actually runs from the 7 o'clock position all the way to the 5 o'clock position. I don't think it can be rejected as a bag ding but ironically if the details were G or F this probably would be ignored and graded as G in that context given this is 19th century just like cleanings are sometimes ignored for lower grade coins.
