Recently added this piece to my Liberty gold collection. It's a surprisingly scarce coin according to CoinFacts, with an estimated 175 total remaining examples, only 3 of them in mint state. What grade would you assign?   |

I don't have enough experience with these to offer a useful opinion.

XF40. Obverse limited. A nice, circulated piece.

I'll say VF to EF.

I'd say XF-45 with nice, honest wear.

AU details (damaged) or AU50 depending on how they saw the gash at K8. its pretty deep but they are pretty lenient on gold especially on rare birds.

Solid XF-45 shot AU-50! Obverse damage will not prohibit a straight grade for this type and grade level.
Is this a Fairmont coin? The early date Fairmont coins have a very pleasant green hue, and you coin shows that exact originality!

A mark like that appears to be a contact mark from that setting, in which PCGS would likely grade with less scrutiny. If it was clearly a scratch from an unnatural situation, then it would likely detail. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety?
