i was wondering what you guys think of this coin. I got it off facebook (a friend of a friend) while at college last year. I have been told it was AU or MS. I am not going to sell it but just wanted to find out what you all thought the grade was.   |

You've got to be careful buying these raw, there are many many fakes out there. The surfaces look off to me, but the detail looks XF+ to AU if problem free and genuine. Could you get some better pictures?

i took the picture with my IPhone. I coin does not have a red tint to it. I have shown it to a few coin dealers and they say it was real but they could not agree on a grade.

definately not uncirculated....note wear on headdress and eagles feathers
It appears to be AU-50 weigh it to be sure (4.18 grams)
575K minted ...worth about $225....ENJOY!
PS one of only 3 dates minted at the Denver mint.

Definitly not MS. I'd have to say XF45

Not enough luster remaining for AU in my opinion. XF-45

I don't care for the color depicted in the pictures...it doesn't look quite right. Maybe it's a good coin. I'd check the weight. At best, I'd say it's a 45, if real.

That's the thing about pictures they don't show the real look of the coin. It is 100% real. I'm new to coin photography and maybe a iPhone picture wasn't the best idea. But that's what I had handy. Thanks for all the responses!

I would have to question the luster amount also. XF-45

It is 100% real. I don't want to come across like I'm questioning it, but what evidence do you have that it's real? Was it in a top TPG slab? The only reason I ask is that the fakes coming out for these coins are extremely convincing, made of real gold, and known to even fool dealers. |

Thankfully though, if its real gold, he didn't get burned that badly since an XF/AU common date of this series isn't worth THAT much more than melt.

AU 50 ...hard to tell by the pics if it's real or not,but it does have good detail.
