Thanks buddy. You really help me out alot. It's just I promised munkeyman I wouldn't make anymore obessive posts and I guess I did and I feel bad I broke my promise.

[RUSS BEGA]

No problem buddy. numismatics is a hobby that everyone should enjoy and learn from each other. and from some of the things you've said in your posts i imagine you under the age of 21 (which would make you a young numismatist) and hey i'm still in high school us YN's gotta stick together

What year was your $10 Lib?

 

How big was the aztec coin?

[zrlevin]

I like it!

Now that is a Pretty double eagle

The coin looks quite attractive, appears to have no singular hit that determined the grade, looks like it has nice skin and, indeed, has positive eye appeal. I would go so far as to say it looks undergraded in your images. This is the "generic" date for this series and it might have a slightly different grading standard than other issues. Nice piece.

[RUSS BEGA]

From the looks of the images there doesnt seem to be enough contact marks to grade only a 2.

I basically lost at least $75 in the trade that I did..

The aztec coin was around 0.48 oz gold. The year of the liberty 10$ piece was 1894. Also, there are alot of hits on the hair. Later I'll try and take some better pictures in the sunlight.

 

Thanks Tomb and others.

That was my thought exactly. I was impressed by how clean the fields appear. There appear to be some marks on the cheek, and there may be some strike weakness, but I wouldn't think strike should keep it out of a 63. I'd love to see a clearer picture.

 

That makes two double eagles for you. Have you given any thought to a double eagle type set?

Not bad though, trading that and getting a $20 Lib.

Very nice Liberty Double Eagle. Congratulations!

[jgrinz]

Thats a 63 in a NGC slab ... Very nice as I have a few 62's which do not look as nice ... The PCGS's I did cross (61's) crossed a grade higher ... this is what I am going on ...

 

You did well congrats

[bsshog40]

That's a very nice liberty there stinkycheese. Ya done real good. Don't scratch it, it looks real!!

[SkyMan]

That's an attractive coin. Nice pickup.

[rbrown4]

I made you a sig-sized image (well, a little larger, but close enough) you might like to use...

 

 

Or another version:

looks to haVE great eye appeal and ms63+ from the photos

 

[James_OldeTowne]

I do like it - a lot! Of course, it's a 1904, which is the most common date for the series, but even so, the coin looks PQ for the PCGS grade. Great job!

[Oldtrader3]

Coin looks nice for grade. Only thing that I can see from second scan is possibly some light chatter on cheek. Otherwise, nice coin with original skin.

[MBA101]

Yes, it looks as if the luster is broken a bit by bagmarks on the cheek and neck. Would be cool if you could capture the luster a bit when you have a chance to take better pics. But the coin looks to be on the upper end of typical for a '62. Not a bad coin to have...

[Doogy]

nice coin, but...........you should have purchased a pre-1904 example. The 1904 coins were mostly gold, but have a chocolate filling in them. Tasty yes, but certainly worth less than the all gold Double Eagles. I would however either keep your coin refrigerated or at least in room temperature to keep the filling from oozing out.

[stinkycheese1]

Here's some more pictures. Hopefully these will help:

 

 

[RUSS BEGA]

that explains it there seems to be alot of chatter on the cheek but it still looks better than a 2 to me
