My impression is MS63 to MS65. What do you think?

Hard to tell grade on this series and with these photos. It's got around $320 worth of gold.

Need better photos. These are scans which do not give enough detail. Hard to tell if the coin is genuine.

Still, the wear on headband and top of eagle's leading wing seems apparent.

$30 premium seems pretty reasonable to me.
Rest in Peace

The disappearing 9 in the date would be the first thing I'd check.

You honestly think you're being offered a 3k to 50k coin for $350?

Questionable authenticity. Surfaces do not match wear grade, and there are some questionable areas (in front of neck, left side 3rd feather, mint mark)

Sharpness is around XF40 at best if genuine, significant wear on the headdress, wing feathers, ear feathers, etc. 100% not original surfaces, and quite possibly with filed rims or ex-jewelry mounting -- a shot of the edge reeding below the date would be helpful.

VF & probably cleaned.

To be marketable it needs to be third party graded.
