Circulated gold

[GDJMSP]

Now ordinarily a circulated US gold coin is not unusual - fairly common actually. They can be found in many different denominations, dates and mint marks.

 

But how often do ya see one of these that's circulated ?

Very interesting! The wear patterns on the obverse are very close to what you see on circulated Saints, however the lower relief (relative to the low-relief saints) seems to cause more wear on the high points of liberty than you would see in a similarly worn Saint. By the way, the lowest graded Saint I've seen is a VF I think, and it looked nicer than yours!

Pocket PIECE would be more like it. This coin has got to be RARE in this condition.

Is it a proof?

[spy88]

The correct phrase is..."WAS it a proof?"

 

Sorry, claw, couldn't resist!

I think it "is". Although English has never been a strong subject for me so I cant talk, but "is" seems right. I believe "was" is past tense.

 

[GDJMSP]

" Is " - is the correct term. Once a Proof always a Proof - no matter how impaired it may be.

 

But to answer the question - no. It is a business strike.
