sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 07/22/2011 10:37 pm Put it inside a tight fitting clear plastic pocket to protect it from further damage, and continue to have it as a pocket piece. Nice coin for such an adventure. Bit heavy, though. Just make sure that it does not go through the washing machine! My idea of an ideal American pocket piece would be a common date walker in about MS60. Bit lighter and not so risky, value wise. And more old folk would remember what it is when you show it. Ab. fab. neo classic design as well. Report this Post to the Staff

I considered doing this with a half eagle, but chickened out(for fear of losing it). I'd grade it AU-50. It should bring a small premium, probably 5-8%. Report this Post to the Staff

ACE Mike Valued Member United States 438 Posts	Posted 07/24/2011 02:08 am The marks and such bring it down to EF-40. It's still gold, and it's still nice! I think that it will bring a 3 to 5% or so premium over melt, as Commercial Uncirculated pieces are only bringing about 10% or even less over melt. Report this Post to the Staff
