fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 09:09 am I'm no expert on Gold either but I'd say AU-53 or so since surfaces seem to have some light wear Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 10:42 am Being a jewelry piece, it likely would go XF/AU Details. It's a melt value coin at this point and since it's considered a common-date - it's problems are not a concern. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6396 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 10:46 am I'd call it EF-40 for detail. There is significant loss of detail on central areas of the coin like Liberty's hair, the eagle's neck, and the talons. The denticles at the rim have been somewhat protected by the mount and have the look of a higher grade (AU) coin. The "used in jewelry" status of the piece basically puts it in the bullion category. The 1901-O is a slightly better date but this one now has very little numismatic premium. Report this Post to the Staff
mshev Valued Member United States 312 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 12:13 pm I agree with the EF-40 details and melt value. Fortunately melt value is fairly high with gold as much as it is. Report this Post to the Staff
Darth Anarchus Pillar of the Community United States 1388 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 5:46 pm melt value only being a jewelry piece... The edge is usually affected when a coin is used in jewelry Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 04/19/2011 6:01 pm i told her how I'm jealous that she has a coin more valuable than any of mine, and she doesn't even collect. and I told her if it was mine i'd take it out of the bezzel asap and protect it. I don't know if it's just me, but seeing coins as jewelry is a sin to me. Report this Post to the Staff
