This one arrived today........ I'm VERY pleased! It's got a bit of die breakage, a small gouge, and some doubling on the reverse.

Anyone care to venture a guess towards the grade? It came raw, but for just a tiny bit over spot......

These are scans, so the luster is a bit subdued........... I'll try and grab a few pics with the camera soon.

Hi Rick,

Those are very cool die cracks. I don't think I've seen any Liberty gold coins with cracks that pronounced. I don't see any significant doubling in your photo, however; maybe just a trace of Machine Doubling?

As far as grade goes, the light wear visible on Liberty's portrait and loss of luster in the fields is I think consistent with an AU-50 grade. Very nice, unique coin and a decent buy IMO at "a tiny bit over spot".
