Cristina: your coin appears to be of high grade with nice luster and sharp details.The gold market is hot ,by the end of the year some of the "experts" are projecting it to be pushing $1800 to $2000.To get a idea what your coin is selling for check out eBay Auction on the internet.Make sure you are comparing your coin to the same year,mint and condition.Have fun it researching out all of your coins.
