However, it should grade high since it has a low mintage. Henri Charriere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your average five-dollar gold coin is not ordinarily subject to wear and tear since they were not minted for circulation, hence, they are uncirculated. The grade can only be bestowed by a grader. I would urge you to return it to its OGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Such an important medal and such an ugly coin. (My Dad came home from WW-II with many medals including a silver star. But he said the one he never received and valued the most was the Purple Heart. I felt the most important award was his safe return.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The design, if we can call it that, is cluttered, unfocused and a general mess. The medal/award is significant, but the presentation on this coin is a travesty.

It does... in an unpredecedented straight horizontal line across the coin's reverse. A-a-a-nd, if anyone should have the audacity to challenge your claim, you can dazzle them with your command of numismystique by confidently pointing out yours is a gold die crack, recognized by the hobby as a Type Two which, unlike silver, exhibits a distinct bas-relief effect. Silver or Type One die cracks, Mint State or Proof, exhibit a completely opposite alto relievo effect. Almost had you there didn't I? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
