Although they are less expensive, the Philly coins are less common than the CC issues. When I saw this one priced like a common date I jumped on it. What grade would you assign?

Las_Vegas_Larry Pillar of the Community United States 817 Posts	Posted 05/27/2011 06:55 am Gold is always tough it seem to be more a market grade than a technical grade. Check out Douglas Winter's inventory or coins we love sections. The coins are all certified by ngc or pcgs but the grades sometimes seem to defy explanation. raregoldcoins.com Report this Post to the Staff
