I'll post the BG designation with the grade. I know these are difficult since a lot of us don't get a lot of exposure but hey, thanks for looking and enjoy this neat little piece of Americana

Hmm if there's one thing I've learnt about these is that; grade these coin, then add 10 points. I'll go MS-63. I one saw one of that I thought I was VF-30 but was graded AU-55 :O

Tremendous piece of USA history.

it gives me chills just imagining how this coin came to be ... such is the power of early California gold ...

Wild guess ... AU53 ..

Whatever it grades ... lovely example of the USA coinage history.

I am glad PCGS graded it. I can't pick the fakes with these.
Like the others, I am forced to guess.
AU53.

I will read the rest of this thread with interest.
