Takes a while to get one's head around grading gold. This one is good practice:

I'll say AU-50, if that.

AU-55 was my initial thought.

I'll guess AU53 but the deep scratches through the right wing might detail it. Either way, it is a bullion coin valued almost entirely on its gold content.

53 seems fair. The scratches don't seem bad enough to detail-grade the coin. As stated, the value is mostly due to gold content and the exact grade shouldn't affect the price much.

Guesses are free so I'll go against the grain and say MS62.

Oh, now that I can see the whole picture, I'll go AU50

PS: That is a very nice AU coin for sure! No distractions at all. I think it might be under graded personally.
