As promised, I found this $5 Gold Coin hidden in my Dad's collection. It took several days of searching through many boxes and rolls, but it was found in a jewelry case all by its lonesome. What grade do you think it is?

I plan to send it off to get officially graded.

Thanks Dad
Brian

Obviously treasured by your dad, and I guess now treasured by you, I guess that eye appeal would help that.

I will say it is an AU-58 but it could be MS if the luster is not impaired due to wear. Nice coin!
