I just picked it up yesterday and thought it looked like it could go MS62 or 63. Please let me know your thoughts on the grade and if it's OK to ask, what a going rate would be on a coin like this? I paid $1800 for it and I think I didn't overpay, but it's always nice to get a second opinion. The first picture shows the correct coloring of the coin. I wasn't able to capture it in the others Thanks in advance.     *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***Edited by GaryN

Gary, You have a very attractive coin that looks better than MS63 in the images. It appears to be a solid 64 with a shot at 65. If it has full mint bloom then I believe 65 is very possible. That said, you really need a 64 for it to be worth $1800 these days. Melt value is around $1250 today and that has brought prices way down on common date gold. Did you over-pay? It doesn't look like it. You paid full market price for a MS64 though and your coin is raw. The real winner here would be landing that one in a top tier MS65 holder. It seems to have a great shot at it.  |

Bit of a ding in Lib's right thigh may hold it back a little.
Otherwise, not too bad at all.

Stuning Coin? It was made in the US of A. I wouldn't expect anything less from our good neighbours to the south:)
Thanks for everyone's help in grading this for me

MS63/64 but one needs to really see these in hand the rub on the leg is the telling point. Those ticks also will play into the final grade, it's a solid MS63 from the photos IMO, with a decent shot at MS64.

My local coin dealer would look up bullion prices and tell me it's only worth melt LOL!
Why do I always look at the edges first? Idk, I do that with Morgans too. Very nice coin.
Every time I get a litter of puppies, everyone says "I'll keep you updated" Hardly ever happens, so really hope you'll tell us what grade it gets!!!

I will, just ordered the shipping kit, so it'll be a few months before I get the graded coins back though.
