My very first gold coin!

Very eager to hear what the community thinks of its condition.
It was a family heirloom recently acquired from an old friend.
It was housed in a suspension band but appears unworn.
Photos are the best I can do with my primitive setup.
Last two were taken through a magnifying lens.
Thanks for looking in. -msy

AU-58 and I would keep it out of the bezel.
Rest in Peace

Agree with AU58(details?) Its hard to see if there is enough going on with the coin to prove it is ex-jewelry. There appears to be a dark stain around the denticals obv 11oclock, some brown staining reverse 6 oclock and some material on the rim reverse 3 oclock. If all these together lead a TPG to believe it was in a bezel, than it might get a detail gradel....otherwise it looks like a nice AU58....and like IndianGoldEagle said, keep it out of the bezel and into proper coin encapsulation.

Thanks, guys. It's definitely not going back into the holder.
There are a few very light tarnishes which possibly could have come from the other [silver] pieces this was stored with, unprotected in a cloth bag.
My eyes don't see any 'details' that might detract from a pure TPG grade.
It's tempting me to hunt down those 7070 gold pages on ebay.
But the financial commitment adding to that spread kind of scares me.
There have been sooo many great gold coins shown on this forum.

Nice coin. My first US gold was also a 1907 $2.50.
