RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 06/25/2011 11:10 pm Just bought my first gold coin and I'm a bit hesitant to post but here it is. The strike isn't super great, but I don't see too much wear on it. The scratches on the reverse are much more prominent in the pics than in hand. Does that look like a cleaning attempt or is it natural? Since the coin is so small you don't really see those too much. I paid $235 - how did I do? Opinions? Report this Post to the Staff

Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 12:14 am It's a great coin! I'd give it an AU-55; just a bit of wear on the top of the folded wing on the reverse and bit of chatter on both sides. At $235, it's steal! (usually one would need about $100 more required for this coin!) Report this Post to the Staff

RollHunter Pillar of the Community United States 687 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 10:28 am Cool thanks! I bought it at a shop near where I work - not sure I trust ebay for gold yet. Certainly not raw like this one. Report this Post to the Staff
Freedom Pillar of the Community United States 526 Posts	Posted 06/26/2011 11:40 am That is a steal. I love these gold coins. I would have to go with AU-55 as well. Gold is tough for me to try and grade being the novice that I am. Great coin and PRICE!!!! Report this Post to the Staff
greghansen Valued Member United States 92 Posts	Posted 07/01/2011 8:28 pm Wow! I wouldn't hesitate to post that. Nice color. Yea it was wiped/cleaned a tad, but nothing nasty. High AU details, net XF/AU with the cleaning. I think you got it about $30 too cheap. Congratulations. Be careful about fakes. Raw 2.5 Indians are a NIGHTMARE! Report this Post to the Staff
