Very nice coin! Is that wispy thing in front of the indian's face a scratch, or something else? If that's not a scratch, it looks like a solid 64 to me. I'd still recommend getting it certified though.

I don't know what it is but those gold eagles just seem to call to me.

$740 sounds about right. I'd definitely get it graded. You could come out great if it grades MS and even an AU grade would be fine at $740.
Gold Indians bag a lot for very minor issues so you might consider ANACS or NGC.

yeah I am going to get it graded when my other one comes in. Send them both off at the same time.

I think it would grade since the scratch is so thin and unobtrusive. It after all is invisible in the second obverse photo. Surfaces appear MS-62 although the slightly weak detail at the eagle's shoulder might indicate it's an AU coin. If so, AU-58 seems appropriate to me.
Like most Indian eagles, this is a beautiful coin.

The way it appears in the photo where it shows, if it is a scratch, I don't think they will grade it. Hope I'm wrong. If they don't grade it, PCGS will send it back in a "Genuine" slab and NGC will provide a details grade. I hope it grades, because it looks 65 (or better) from the photos without a scratch. Good luck and let us know how it does come back. Personally, I think the Indians are prettier than the Liberties.  |

well honestly I did not notice it until I took a picture of it. I said to myself what is that.The fields are pretty immaculate accept for the "scratch". Overall I think its a 63 I mean I would like to hope for more but I am not good on the series. I am going to be sending it in to anacs since I dont have a pcgs or ngc account neither is there a dealer in my town. I wish I could get better pictures b.c its a pretty stunning coin

I like MS-60 for this. You nailed it Moe! It graded MS-60 Scratched I am a little disappointed with the grade b/c I have seem some graded MS-62 that look worse than this one. I imagine the scratch is what hurt me |
