Light flare on the left side of the reverse ant top of obverse suggests that this coin has been photographed inside a coin holder. Quite a few scuffs in the field on the obverse. Beard eyebrow moustache and hair detail quite sharp. Full detail on the orb (top of crown), and in the King's uniform.
May get a higher grade out of the holder, no wear, MS62.
There are a few top quality fakes of these, made from recycled low grade or common date U.S. Eagles, which are of the same weight and alloy. Almost all U.S. gold has been faked at some time or other. This one looks OK from the pictures.
Very pleasing coin.

A mint state example with strong luster. A few marks in the obverse fields. MS60 and possibly a MS62. Nice coin.

Really hard to tell what are marks and what are on the holder, etc., but I'll say MS63.

Probably MS-63. Gold is very soft and marks up very easily.
