AU-58, but NGC gave it a 62.

MS62 on a bad day. 63 is a fair grade. Good luster and strike held back by hairlines.

I'll say MS-63, but confess to being terrible on these.

Nice looking coin. I say MS63 but I'm no expert at all on these.

I think NGC may be wrong.
My opinion, which is less well regarded than NGC's, is
AU-58, fine scratches detract.
I think I see the tiniest amount of wear on the high points, but even if a light strike with no wear,
my eyes still see the same thing.
If I was in the market for a $3 gold Princess, (for which I actually am),
AU-58 or less money for this coin may attract me.

I will say, in hand it is a stunning coin, blown up photos, yes appears to have some very fine hairlines. Based on what I see in hand, I thought it was maybe under graded, but I'm new to this. Thanks for the feedback everyone.  Edited by adam126402

That would be a good buy as a 61. It looks better.

Nice pick up!
IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
