1873 G$1 Guess The Grade.

Is in a NGC holder. Very lustrous.

I don't know anything about gold. That coin looks like an MS 64 coin to me. Nice little keeper!!

[Coindude]

Either 58 or 64. Might be the slightest rub on the hair.

58 or 65 (or so it appears on my iPad - I'll try to look at it on a normal monitor tomorrow).

[BillJones]

I'd grade it MS-64.

 

This is a well made 1873 gold dollar. Many of them show a weakness on the word "LIBERTY." The mint made an effort to melt Type 1 gold dollars in 1873 and '74 and turn them into Type 3 gold dollars. The result was higher mintages and some rather sloppy minting practices that resulted in less than perfect coins.

64

I am in Florida right now but figured I would check in and reveal. NGC would not go that extra inch and decided it was a MS64+ which is good for me since I feel confident I got a MS65 at a very good price. It is a very nice example.

 

Thanks for all good guesses.

Oh, and btw Bill the liberty is actually defined very well however the lighting of the coin when I took the picture did not make its way into that small crevice.

 

I took the picture quickly during a break getting ready for my run down to Florida on my bike.

If you read my sentence I said that it is a well made example with a complete "LIBERTY."

[wdrob]

Ok Bill. You are correct. I must have misread your thread as this phone is difficult to post and read. I misplaced my bifocals and that makes matters worse.

Nice coin Bill. I love the look of it and some of the orange toning on the obverse.

Sorry, but it's not my coin.
