Please tell me what you think. I'm terrible at this but I'm guessing MS62

Without attempting to validate its authenticity, which I cannot do (not experienced with gold), I would say it is MS64 or higher... I can't seem to spot many scratches.

I don't know about the grading but the cartwheel is visible on both sides and the coin looks excellent.

I cant see any issues as to why this would be lower than MS65

I will be sending this and few others to the NGC for grading soon and wanted to get a feel for the grade. Thanks for your help

Johntookit,
I do not see any scratches as well.
Perhaps worthy of submission.
It's just that many of we members hesitate to encourage
submissions. This coin is worthy. So submit.
But do not hold us to blame!

I could see anywhere from a 63 to a 65... really need to get more light on the coin so we can see it properly.

Looks at least MS-64, maybe 65.

Not lustrous enough for a 64/65
More likely 62/63
There's a $3,000 price swing there so TPGs will be very finicky
Rest in Peace

I need better pics of the luster. It looks lackluster to me, and unnatural in these pics.

Definitely MS. However, I disagree with those here who are saying MS-64 or 65. The coin has not been photographed properly and does not show the fields and any pertaining marks. The luster is lacking as well. Likely a 62.

photos aren't clear enough to grade from.
