Images are too pixelated to evaluate.

Impossible to assess surface quality from these photos. There appears to be fairly light wear, so I'll throw out an AU-50 grade. Quite a scarce coin. Hopefully it looks much better in-hand.

Not the best photos to grade from, but there's definitely some wear. I'll say XF-45 if it straight graded.

Tough coin to image. Older holder. Here are some better pics.

I'll say EF-40, just a stab.

XF-40 with the new photos seems about right.

Yeah, 40 seems more like it. Looks like it had some kind of cleaning but apparently not blatant enough for NGC to flag. Still a rare and valuable piece!

A healthy discount seems to be the rule on grading early branch mint gold.

Mr frog you were so close you said EF-40 but NGC says XF-40. Participation trophy.

Same as PR or PF, depends on the TPG. Nice solid EF-40 which could also have been in an EF-45(XF-45) holder.
