I think it is under graded when compared side by side with identical coins by PCGS, that's what caught my eye.

I see rub on the high points and friction in the fields, especially below the eagle. I'd say AU-58 based on these photos. I could see it sliding into an MS-62 holder, however. Not much difference price wise between those grades.

Ok, this is the one I bought MS 64

1901-$5-Liberty-Gold-Half-Eagle-Grade-Guess?


The reason why I say this is under graded is, here is another MS 64

1901-$5-Liberty-Gold-Half-Eagle-Grade-Guess?
1901-$5-Liberty-Gold-Half-Eagle-Grade-Guess?
1901-$5-Liberty-Gold-Half-Eagle-Grade-Guess?


For instructional purposes, how are these even close?

Are gold coins graded differently then silver?

Any gold coin aficionados here that can explain how these can both be MS 64, really would be appreciated before the thread gets buried :)

The 1901 looks properly graded to me. The 1907 I would have at MS-63 tops, possibly 62. The 07 does have nicer luster and more flash, just too baggy.

Here it is, in hand, USB Microscope shots.

I guess I can live with MS64 lol

There are a bunch of scratches on the case, so I may reholder it. It's a keeper.

Quite frankly I'm surprised at the lack luster of posts after posting coin in hand LOL. I'm just jerking someones chain, it does not surprise me at all, people post on things they find interesting.
