yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 07:16 am 1882 Liberty Head $5 Gold Coin - Don't hold anything back. Judgement day. Completely unaware of their (Liberty Heads) existence until "settling" on this coin because store was out of what I came for and it's not fun getting all excited and coming home empty handed. It's not fun making a stupid decision either. The sting of a stupid decision lasts longer than the thrill of new shiny. NOTE: Again I am not good at taking pics of gold coins. Coin looks better in every regard "in hand" but that's beside the point. Assistance politely requested in regards to grade and/or value. Thoughts, opinions, and feelings all welcomed. Any insight on the market for this type is appreciated as I am ignorant on the topic. Report this Post to the Staff

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 33743 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 10:13 am Coin shows signs of light circulation. Lighting in photo makes it hard to tell if it was cleaned. I don't see any big red flags that it is not genuine. AU-58 is where I'm at on it. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 11:13 am AU-58 sounds right. Very attractive example. Report this Post to the Staff
TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 11:15 am That was my impression as well before seeing your post IndianGoldEagle. I think that whatever is trapped between the stars and rim just adds to it looking natural. I like it very much. Who wouldn't? AU-58 here too. Report this Post to the Staff
GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8923 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 11:15 am worth $480 in AU-58 https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-18358 Report this Post to the Staff
SilverDollar2017 Pillar of the Community United States 8715 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 12:17 pm AU-58. GrapeCollects - The NGC/PCGS price guides often list prices that are too high. Note how the "auction realized" prices are lower than the price guide estimate. Edited by SilverDollar2017 09/19/2018 12:18 pm Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5016 Posts	Posted 09/19/2018 8:31 pm I agree with the light wear, although it does seem to have a lot of bag marks. Here in Canada my LCS would sell that for little more than melt, but perhaps that is just the local market. It is not a rare year. Report this Post to the Staff

coin197 Pillar of the Community United States 1963 Posts	Posted 09/23/2018 2:51 pm Hmm. AU 55, can't tell if it has or hasn't been cleaned. It is worth about $290 I would say. Report this Post to the Staff
yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 09/26/2018 04:03 am Awesome. I'm pleasantly surprised because thought it below AU. I have opportunity to purchase several more near spot that look like this one or better; none worse for sure. Maybe I should jump on them!? Report this Post to the Staff
