I don't know if it's the photos or not but, it looks like a light rub in the fields... MS-64

Thank you for the inputs. I would send the coin for grading as this coin is a hand-select and I don't think there is any value with original packaging especially for 1913 $10 gold.

ICCS would grade this obverse side of the coin, and they would give it a MS-65. very nice obverse, hopefully the reverse is that nice!
Possibly a MS-64, but more likely a MS-65, excellent picture btw.

Let us know how you make out with the grade.
Who are you sending it to?

I will try to send out end of this week or next week to PCGS. I don't think I would go with ICCS just because of the soft flips like Jimmy mention. I will definitely scan the coin when it is graded. Thank you for all the comments

I have absolutely NO idea of how you guys can give a coin a grade without seeing Bothe sides of it  A lot of MS grades handed out here, What about the fields and the high points on this obverse? It may be just the image provided , But it looks like the original Lustre is confined to the legends and the fields are barren of it  Without the benefit of a reverse image I would have to call this at AU55-58  |

trout1105, when someone posts only one side of the coin, I automatically assume that the posted side is the one worse than the other. I give this side MS64+ (which exists in PCGS), and assuming the other side is better, this will probably be the grade I'd stick with.

How can you grade a coin just seeing one side? Because the OP asked for a grade and supplied only one picture. I'm only grading that side of the coin but I'm assuming everyone is OK with this. |

I can't tell the grade conclusively from that photo. Looks MS to me, but I can't speculate beyond that considering I can only see one side of the coin, there is pixelation, and lighting/glare issues that interfere with the fields and legend. There appears to possibly be some discoloration between legend & rest of the coin, which may suggest it's been cleaned (or perhaps it's just poor lighting). I'd recommend trying to post clearer pics of both sides (even multiple views/light angles of each side), to better poll the forum before spending the $ to have TPG'ed. |

Assuming there are no abnormal issues present, the reverse of the coin is of little consequence to grade...for this coin or any other.
It looks MS-64 to me, and I'm assuming the cheek rub is coin-to-coin contact.

I m with Trout on this one. To get an overall grade on any coin and offer an opinion all three sides are necessary. Obverse , reverse and edge. That said the obverse of this looks pretty nice.

I will try to get better pictures for both sides of the coins. The reverse pics for BOC hoard coins are mostly ignored because they are always flawless. However, I do understand where some of the members are coming from.
