Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 4:42 pm I'll go 62, though would not be surprised to see a 58 (slider). Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6394 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 8:20 pm For comparison, here is another example of this coin purchased from a Great Collections auction, graded MS-60 by NGC. This coin has brighter luster and more "pop" than the OP's coin, although contact marks are a bit more obvious. Strike also appears a little stronger. The OP's coin seems to have reduced luster overall, likely from slight circulation. I expect it should grade no higher than this MS-60, with AU-58 more likely. Report this Post to the Staff
mamastinky Valued Member United States 441 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 8:59 pm Jaobler, I think that is more a question of comparing photography; I try to avoid hot highlights for these so all the surfaces are clearly visible (although I did not do that great on the reverse). Anyways, I thought this coin should have graded MS-63.. however, perhaps the reverse is to blame, since now that I look I suppose the surfaces do look a little sloppy. NGC graded this one MS-62.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36841 Posts	Posted 07/31/2016 9:18 pm I think the obverse field marks held this one back to 62. Nice original coin. Report this Post to the Staff
