Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 755 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 3:33 pm I would love your opinions on the grade of this coin. This is another coin that was stored in a safe deposit box in the 1950s until literally one month ago. Edited by Adam590 07/19/2020 7:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 3:48 pm Assuming it's genuine, I'm going to say this is an AU-58 "commercial unc". Can you give us the weight? Report this Post to the Staff
Adam590 Pillar of the Community United States 755 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 3:53 pm Thanks, Coinfrog! I don't have a scale for this at hand, but I am not questioning the authenticity. The lighting of the photography removed the luster on both the 1901 Eagle and 1876 S Double Eagle, but the coins DO have luster. Thanks for the AU(58) estimation! Report this Post to the Staff
westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 4:26 pm We do not have the luxury of having the coin in-hand and grading coins like this by photos is tough. So, me guesstimate is high AU (55 to 58) to low MS (60 to 63). Nice Centennial year gold coin no matter what it grades! Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18684 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 5:29 pm Close enough to AU58 to push it over the line Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 07/19/2020 8:34 pm Slight, but obvious wear on the high points of the design, both sides. AU-55. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36826 Posts	Posted 07/20/2020 11:16 am AU-58 but I've seen worse in MS holders. Report this Post to the Staff
