Overall it looks nice. The referenced scratches on the obverse and reverse aren't very distracting and don't think they would details a lower grade coin such as this. also don't see rim damage on the obverse, looks like angle, lighting and reflection from the wrapper making it look like damage. I'd lean more towards F12.

I don't know Jack about grading proofs. I'll say the obverse strike looks a little weak to me with the broken nose ridge. "Liberty" looks a little weak and the hair details a little soft. The reverse looks better IMO.

I'll take a stab and say PR64

Hard to tell from the pics, is there luster? It just looks a little dull in these pics.

I do see what looks like some clashing below the bow, but of what I'm not sure. Maybe one of the photo experts on here could show us an overlay image of what the observe clash would look like.

There is so much Chinese counterfeit garbage on eBay these days, trying to report them all is just not worth it. Sad for all of those that seem to buy this junk.

Looks legit to me. Yes, details. Grade I'd say VF. Also, the reverse clashing and die cracks match this PCGS AU55 certification 31753417.

Welcome Longacre Fan. Know that it is a sin to only post one side of the coin! Sharpen those photo skills.

It looks very nice, congrats.

I'm 100% with MisterT, I like representations of Liberty, male or female! Leave the dead presidents and other honorees to commemoratives.

MisterT, per PCGS, there were two varieties, same obverse and two different reverses. The coin as noted is the PCGS VF30 plate coin. All of the dings and scratches on the obverse and reverse line up. The OP pics look intentionally smudged, especially around the date.

TeeEss, your post in the "post your new acquisitions" said the coin came in a plastic case. How about pics of the coin in the case.

I don't have a clue about grading these incus gold coins. However, it does look very nice, presumably MS. So what's the benefit of moving from NGC with green bean to CACG?

This seller is shameful. In their terrible photoshopping inadvertently added another S mint mark.

Or that's how it looks to me based on the pics. And check out the scratch on the reverse above the eagles head in NS pics which was erased by the seller among many other alterations.

Who is this seller, so we can all avoid them?

I agree with MisterT, pictures clearly doctored, especially the right obverse field. I would return on principle alone.

Is that a scratch in the holder below TY on the obverse or in the coin? I'll take a stab and say MS64+ Looks very well struck, nice luster and all, at least to my amateur eyes.

Funky surface toning, looks 53ish based on these pics. Lean towards straight grade regardless of scratch on the shield. Will be interesting to see pics once you have it in hand.
