This auction is for 1 - 1905 Gold "Liberty" Head One Dollar Coin with Strong Mint Luster. This coin has the appearance of the Mid to High AU range in my opinion. There is very strong Mint Luster on both the Obverse and Reverse. The detailing in Liberty's hair is very good and the curls on her neck are very clear and clean. The coin shows Rim Doubling on the Obverse which can be seen in the pictures between the 12 to 3 o'clock position which seems to be uncommon comparing the coins I have from this same series. The Reverse is very strong with the Eagle and especially the "Shield" showing very few contact marks. The fields on each side are quite clean as well. The lettering shows little wear and all appear to be very clean. There are some light contact marks on the rim which is the primary reason I estimate the grade in the AU range. I believe I see some very light hairline scratches in the left field on the obverse but I cannot say for certain, if they are there they are very faint and difficult for me to see. This coin has been in our family for many years and this particular coin has been in one of my type sets for the date. There are a few light contact marks on both the Obverse and Reverse but do not affect the eye appeal and are minimally noticeable. This coin has a natural appearance to me which would indicate it has never been cleaned particularly with the luster but I cannot confirm this. The coin has been tested to authenticate the Gold composition by a jeweler I have used for many years. I do not handle any of my coins without wearing cotton gloves. We are now having to sell parts of our collections due to issues we now have here so I will be listing many more coins in the coming weeks and months. This particular coin will be shipped in a "Priority Flat Rate" Box with "Signature Confirmation" added on to ensure safety in transit. The coin in the pictures is the exact coin that you will receive. I attempted to use different lighting angles to get variations on what this coin's appearance is to give you as much information as possible. The pictures show the coins obverse and reverse in lighting to adequately represent the coin. The color in the pictures is accurate to holding the coin in hand. I will combine multiple auctions won to reduce shipping charges. Please wait to pay if you win multiple auctions for an invoice with the total shipping charges. Tracking number through USPS will be included with shipping. I package each coin very well to protect the contents in shipping and to ensure a safe arrival to the new owner.
