Pics too blurry to determine grade.

Something looks off about the entire coin, particularly the date.
I suspect that it might be fake.

Photos were shot at an angle distorting the look of the coin. Any chance for better photos?

 with IndianGoldEagle - appears legitimate, photos are at an angle. |

This coin has the worst obverse strike I've ever seen on an 1885-O, mint notwithstanding. There are numerous other surface issues that would pretty much kill this one for me. It looks heavily dipped -- the luster is unnatural and improbable, or perhaps the photos have been "processed" quite a bit.
Would send this one back ASAP unless you get it in hand and it turns out to be a winner.

Seller's pics made me think it was less baggy That's for sure. Quote:
If I had known what it really looked like, I probably wouldn't have paid more than $30-32. If you had known what it really looked like, would you have bought it? If the answer is no, return it. |

At least it's MS and not dipped or cleaned. Maybe MS-62. I don't usually advocate for returns, but seller pics were terrible and you'd be justified.

Although baggy and overpriced I like the surfaces and luster. Agree with 62 and that the pics were not representative, but I like it enough to hold on to it. Thanks!

MS 62, I would send 85 0 back as the coin is worth about $30. You made a gamble and it did not work. Pay your shipping fine and try again. You need the coin at MS64 for the price you paid.
