Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 05/30/2010 2:38 pm Here's one of my favorite gold coins, purchased from Heritage back when it was easier to get good deals from that venue. It was originally in an ANACS slab and I was able to cross it over to PCGS at the same grade. Any opinions on what grade it was assigned? Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/30/2010 6:09 pm AU gold is tough. I don't think PCGS would cross at 53; I'll guess AU50. Then again, it may be 55 and I'll eat another helping of crow, thank you. Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 11:21 pm Thanks for the comments! This coin has enough remaining luster to generate a fair "cartwheel" when tilted under a light. Color is very nice and contact marks are pretty light for a CC gold eagle. I hoped it might upgrade from its original ANACS EF-40 grade, but PCGS applied its policy to NEVER upgrade a competitor TPG coin. So, it's in a PCGS XF-40 holder now, and conspiciously undergraded IMO. Total purchase cost was $495 back in 2004. Those were the days, my friends!

aladinslamp Pillar of the Community United States 3076 Posts	Posted 06/01/2010 11:29 pm I'm thinking EF45, from the face marks, and hairlines....I don't have any gold so I'm just guessing here Report this Post to the Staff
Gothic Florin Pillar of the Community United States 2541 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 12:18 pm I'd certainly buy that coin in an XF-40 holder. I think it's undergraded. That was certainly a nice buy for $495! Report this Post to the Staff
coinguybrian Rest in Peace United States 5375 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 5:46 pm XF-40 is ridiculous IMHO Report this Post to the Staff
busthalf Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 06/02/2010 6:08 pm I would also agree with AU-50 Report this Post to the Staff
