I will leave this one to the gold experts. But wow! Very nice coin!

Wow! There appears to be very few abrasions. I am guessing that you could be looking at MS-65 with a possibility of grading little higher. Stunning coin!  |

This just shows me how much I have to learn. I was concerned about the two small black spots on the reverse. Could these be removed or is this something that should be left alone. Thanks.

I'm starting to accumulate quite a few coins that need professional insight including 3 trimes, a few ihp's and at least the 2 recent 2 1/2 gold pieces.. Are there package deals through ngc or pigs? I've never used the service but clearly need their expertise.

Well - I broke down and sent this coin for PCGS grading today. I should have a grade back in 30 days or so. I'll update this topic when it comes back and see how you all did. Many thanks to all your responses. Marty

Drop dead gorgeous! Got to be at least MS-66 judging by these photos.

Good luck! Based on what can be discerned through the 2x2 it should go MS63 and maybe 64. The spots really hurt and would likely prohibit anything higher unless PCGS removes them. That is known to happen, I've had PCGS "touch-up" coins I've submitted without me asking.

When I bought this coin and several others, they came in a small green box with each coin wrapped in what looked like tissue paper. My local dealer said that this is how they originally were packaged by the bank, I'd never heard this before and consider it odd from today's standard of care. In any event, I'm hoping for at least one of the 3 coins to come back at ms65. Ms66 sounds to good to be true, but when my local coin dealer took it out of my old screw case, the black spot on the obverse and reverse were gone and the fiber like mark near the date was gone too. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a grader having a good day! Marty

Good luck on those Marty, I think you have a great shot at some high TPG grades on those, gorgeous coins, both of them. |

I got the news today and will post new pictures and the TPG verdict this weekend. Let me know how you would judge this one. Thanks. Marty |

MS64. Wish the photos were sharper in focus though. The coin looks very nice from what I can tell.
