That has as strong an obverse strike as you'll find on a gold dollar. Based on the strike and eye appeal, it would likely grade MS even if it is a true 55 or 58.

Minimum AU53 and possibly up to MS63 - but I don't have a lot of experience in Gold dollars for what it's worth, I have got the last couple right on in grading here at CCF, but I'm still learning on this coin series.

AU-55 IMO since there is clear evidence of wear, but it might get bumped to 58. The key is the fields.

Objectively an AU-58 but wouldn't be surprised to see it get graded higher.
