Hi,

I would like your opinion on this coin since I have close to no experience in American goldcoins

It has prooflike character but I donīt know if a TPG would put that on the slab. There is also a small scratch above Libertys head that might cause a details grade. The photos makes it look worse than it is. A tough coin to photograf...

Looks genuine and low MS when taking all the images into account. The image with the black background is a good one to evaluate. MS62 or 63 unless the small scratch details it and UNC.

never use green as a background the color reflects onto the coin imparting a its hue.

MS63 straight/ probably an early strike on the die

The miriad of small nicks and scratches in the fields are shown up by those fields, which were once PL.
Nevertheless, no wear is visible on the high points of the designs, both sides.
MS-62.
