Here's my one and only Carson City double eagle. The PCGS grade is possibly on the conservative side and I wonder if I'm feeling lucky. Wouldn't be that hard to crack it out.... What are your opinions on grade and overall quality?   |

No idea how to grade these, but nice coin!  IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Anything that color is nice.  You hadn't mentioned PCGS's grade, no expert on these but strike looks solid, some scratches in fields, I give a guess at MS 63 or 64? |

AU-55 at best based on wear on the hair.

I'd say AU-55, but given the state of grade-flation, the number on the slab label could be higher. At any rate that is no way that coin is a "true" Mint State piece regardless of what the slab says. There is too much friction in the fields.

I think with better lighting it could be a low MS, but I'm at AU58 on these photos
