I find it tough to grade gold from a flat photo, one needs to rotate the coin around to see luster breaks and the lighting can always be tricky to show every mark and not hide something. But your coin looks like a low grade MS coin 60-62 range from what I can tell.

Thanks for your quick reply. Another question, is there a site I can go to so I can look at the difference between the MS grades for this coin?

It looks like a 63 from here. Could go 62 or 64 depending on the in-hand luster/color/eye appeal.

Fantastic luster. Gold is pretty soft so marks are not unusual. MS-62 to MS-63..... probably 63

I don't see the gradding set on PCGS site but they have an iPhone app that has all of the grades clearly pictured, it is free too! Found it at the Apple app store. Very nice to have when at a show or a dealers shop, I can step away like I need to check a message while I'm really double checking gradding on a coin.

AU-58 or low-ish MS, if it really has that much chatter it may have circulated.

Gotta go with ShadowCreator on the grade no way this coin makes anywhere above MS-62, way too much "chatter" or hits and ticks, gold not being a very hard metal really shows up bag marks and handling wear quick.

Too much luster I think to go lower than MS-62. If it were dull luster I could buy AU-58 to MS-61 but luster is blazing in that photo...

Hard to tell from photos, but it appears to be MS62ish.
