Looks to still have the 'original' mint 'luster', even after being buried/mixed in the dirt, and a rusted tin for all those yrs.

almost like it was never in the ground!

cool coin,

Re: A first!!! Gold coin!!

boy I wish the coin dealers were as optimistic as the good people of this forum are , I was told because of the ding on the face, and the tip of the 1 has a small ding on it, and all the surface scratches on the coin, that its only worth bullion value from a local coin dealer.
I wish I had some of your guys ratings for it!! jd

Re: A first!!! Gold coin!!

If it was mine I wouldn't want to sell it but if you do, put it on ebay with a minimum bid. Coin dealers will try to buy it sight unseen figuring you don't know jack. JIM
