1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 02:02 am Picked this up today. The luster caught my eye. I think the dealer may have undergraded. What do you think ? Report this Post to the Staff

biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 12:15 pm Wow, that is quite eye catching I am definitely a novice at grading gold but it looks quite nice for a large hunk o' gold. I will go with MS64 Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6398 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 4:09 pm I'd agree with MS-64 except for the mark in front of Miss Liberty's nose and the smaller hit on her nostril. These are in a "prime focal area" which makes them more serious than if they happened to be in a less obvious location. I think this coin could still make an MS-63 grade but I wouldn't be shocked if a TPG took it down to MS-62. It's unfortunate because the fields are otherwise very clean and the luster appears to be excellent. Report this Post to the Staff
1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 6:08 pm I bought it as a 62. I'll be really happy with a 63 and doing backflips on 64. There is a big difference from 62 to 63. Report this Post to the Staff
JohnAP Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 09:38 am The reverse I'd say would be a good 64, but the marks on the neck, nostrils, cheek and fields realy hurt the obverse, maybe still a 62. May squeeze a 63 overall out.....but what do I know? Report this Post to the Staff
Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 09:48 am I didn't read the other posts because they may sway my opinion, that being said I want to say that is a beautiful coin and I would give it a grade of MS-63 judging by the pictures. Now to see what others are saying about it Report this Post to the Staff

1sikevo Pillar of the Community United States 1130 Posts	Posted 05/13/2008 4:02 pm It takes that long to get anything back from the TPGs nowadays, unless you pay the higher tiers. Report this Post to the Staff
