I'm terrible at grading gold but I'll say MS63.

Compared to what I'm used to looking at online from amateur sellers, these are clear as day - with two different lighting angles no less.

i find these very difficult to determine wear due to the lack of relief in the series add to that glare from lighting and grade assessments could be way off. due to glare in your photos I cannot determine the amount of wear if any. gold is hard enough to grade and with photos even more. its not easy to get decent photos to grade from without the proper setup.

i think you coin is AU. either 55 or 58

Looks like mine including a few bangs noticeable in the reverse. I can't figure out how these are graded. Stayed away from them when they were cheaper because I couldn't evaluate those I saw on sale.
