My first gold coin. For $35 over melt, I couldn't pass it up.

BLP's are by far the hardest for me to grade, so expect a mistake, but I will grade anyway, and learn from what others may say.

Wear most obvious on braid of the bonnet, around the ear area, and on the leading edge of the eagle's wings.

I'll guess vf35. Looks nice.

Reverse may bring it down to 30.

Hate to say it but I think its way overgraded, unless the reverse wear is just the images.

I think my images are pretty sharp, it's just hard to imagine NGC would overgrade by that much

IT seems more accurate when you showed the full slab shot. Can you take a pic like that of the reverse?

I will when I get home tomorrow. Although I don't see why a less clear picture would provide greater clarity on the condition of a coin. (Genuinely asking, not trying to be snarky).
