Picked this up today. The luster caught my eye. I think the dealer may have undergraded. What do you think ?

Wow, that is quite eye catching I am definitely a novice at grading gold but it looks quite nice for a large hunk o' gold.
I will go with MS64

I'd agree with MS-64 except for the mark in front of Miss Liberty's nose and the smaller hit on her nostril. These are in a "prime focal area" which makes them more serious than if they happened to be in a less obvious location. I think this coin could still make an MS-63 grade but I wouldn't be shocked if a TPG took it down to MS-62. It's unfortunate because the fields are otherwise very clean and the luster appears to be excellent.

I bought it as a 62. I'll be really happy with a 63 and doing backflips on 64.
There is a big difference from 62 to 63.

The reverse I'd say would be a good 64, but the marks on the neck, nostrils, cheek and fields realy hurt the obverse, maybe still a 62. May squeeze a 63 overall out.....but what do I know?

I didn't read the other posts because they may sway my opinion, that being said I want to say that is a beautiful coin and I would give it a grade of MS-63 judging by the pictures. Now to see what others are saying about it

I'll be submitting to ANACS along with others. I'll post an update in about a month.

It takes that long to get anything back from the TPGs nowadays, unless you pay the higher tiers.
