Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 01:06 am I think this is the nicest of the 4 gold pieces I purchased last week. The strike seems exceptionally strong with Liberty's hair and coronet looking very three-dimensional. Like the 1914 coin, I'd call it AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 08:35 am Very nicely-struck. I'm seeing northwest-southeast striations on the reverse, and a little on the obverse; are they apparent off-camera? Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 08:40 am Nice! I love $5 Libs. It's really tough to tell from the images, could go AU58 or as high as MS63. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
j_h_s Pillar of the Community United States 1934 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 10:03 am Jaobler; nice coin. In a push, I'd go AU55...it'd be a push, though. I'm more inclined to AU50 because I feel all the marks on the coin are from substantial circulation or over/mishandling. There's a likelihood it's been cleaned, too, based on the marks in the SW and ESE obverse fields and the striations on the reverse. The ESE obverse field looks like there was some gunk assimilated onto the surface that was removed. Report this Post to the Staff
cownas22 Pillar of the Community United States 1055 Posts	Posted 05/06/2010 12:20 pm ...I see some rub on the tip of the Coronet and hair. I would give it a AU-58, the fields look pretty clean. Nice pick-up Report this Post to the Staff
