I've been really impressed by all the posts on this forum so far so I figured I'd put this one on here as well.

This coin is the only one of my mom's collection that does not have any paperwork. She said it was a "proof" but I highly doubt that is the case from what I've been learning. Apparently, she thinks this due to the encasement.

I figured anyone can put a coin in a case. Right? Gotta love my mom. LOL

As with my previous post, any info would be greatly appreciated!

What are the reasons that lead you to believe it's not a proof? I'm just curious. Honestly It doesn't look like a proof to me, the field of the coin isn't smooth enough. But I really dont know anything about gold coins.

This coin was not minted in proof so we can rule that out. It looks like a very nice coin that should grade MS64 from what I can see. It might go up or down a point, but you'd have to see it in hand. Appears original.

1928 is a type, or common date, coin in this series. The condition does add to the value significantly with MS64 pieces bringing about $2,000.

It's a nice looking coin for sure (there are no ugly Saints!), but not a proof.
