My eyes want me to say MS60 so I'm thinking PCGS has it AU55/58 maybe?

Thank you for all your comments. This coin is graded AU-55. Based on Heritage auction photos my coin looks superior to most of the recently-sold AU-55 examples and is very comparable to most of the 58's. Since prices realized for AU-58 coins average about $2700 more than those for AU-55's I'm thinking a regrade attempt might be in order. It seems very unlikely that my coin would re-grade any less than AU-55, right?  |

I purchased this coin in 1998 in an NGC AU-55 slab. I picked it because it had very few contact marks compared with most CC double eagles, plus the luster was very strong. A few years later I submitted it to PCGS for crossover and they gave it the same grade. Having viewed many slabbed AU gold pieces over the years I was optimistic that my coin was superior for the grade and fully the equal of most others graded AU-58. CCF opinions were mostly in line with my opinion so I cracked my coin and sent it in. Ta da! Big upgrade dollar-wise and fully justified by current grading standards, IMO.   |

This coin is out of my league but my thoughts were 55 to 58, very nice to see it in the 58 holder.  |

Very nice!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
