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.  |

That's an incredibly beautiful coin. Love the luster and color on it! Way outta my price range though.
