I know very little about grading gold but I'm trying to learn fast. What do you gold experts think this should grade? Guess I should have asked sooner.
It's very tough to grade by this picture. Gold is especially difficult to photograph well, especially for grading purposes. Based on the shadowing I'm seeing, my gut feel says AU50.
it looks ms-60-61 to me maybe a little higher. I dont see any wear on the eagles shoulder. the headdress looks full detail. there is a mark in between the stars at 2o'clock. the coin has nice luster.
The reverse definitely looks UNC. I think the mylar in the holder is masking some nice luster to this coin and making some areas on the obverse look like there's rub when there isn't. I don't see any significant stray marks. I'd say at least MS62. It may go higher, but I'd have to see a pic of the coin out of the holder to determine that.
The details on the inner wing, breast, and headdress look complete. It is a touch better than the NGC Au-58 I recently purchased. I'd say MS-62 is about right.
