This coin is graded at MS-62 by PCGS. Gold coins are a bit foreign to me for grading. I read that sometimes coin grading company's are not always right. I looked at other MS coins to compare and I think this one is correct as far as I can see.
Well I got this coin for $200 dollars under the MS-62 price given by Coin World magazine. I'm not too disappointed. I'll hang on to it for a long time anyway. =)
It lacks luster but still a beautiful coin. A good rule to live by is unless it's slabbed don't pay much more then spot for it. I have not been burned on gold but have on Morgan dollars too many times.
The number and severity of the marks looks more characteristic of a 63 than a 62 but if there is some scuffing or light friction present, that might be what is keeping the coin from grading higher. You picked up a beautiful eagle!
