I see wear so I'll guess AU-58 not that wear precludes the grading services from giving out MS grades these days.

I think it's genuine, but I can't see it grading any higher than AU-55.

I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
It's definitely genuine. Since PCGS graded it why would some of you consider the possibility that it's fake?

No matter what grade PCGS chose to confer, it's a very attractive and totally original better date coin with great color.

I'm the only one so far in the fake camp.....
What I saw is the incomplete banner under WE on the reverse.
The 2nd and 3rd stars to left of date are malformed.
Certainly not my series and I doubt I've owned a dozed $5 gold in 50 years....It's probably a nice 50.

My guess was 53 before seeing any replies. I don’t think it has enough luster to go higher, but it does have pretty light wear overall. Averaging 50 luster and maybe 55 wear gets me to split the difference. Nice color.

Oooo Ooooo .... Can I guess?
(btw....for purposes of guessing this coin from the pic....your pic sucks :P .... and just so no one gets in a tizzy, I know the coin and grade already)

I see the luster better in the slab pic.
Pretty coin.
My thought, too. I think it looks better in that shot. That said, while my gut was 53 from the first photos, I thought it had more upside than downside there. Even without the new photos, I wouldn't have had a problem with the grade, it just wasn't my gut guess.

I guessed AU-58 but had I known it was in an old green holder I would have guessed AU-55.

I guessed 58 before I scrolled down to the reveal (honest). I'd say a OGH 55 with a green bean would be a 58 today. I like it a lot, especially the original surfaces

I was going to type AU53, but I have since changed my mind and will go with the group- AU55.

Pretty much my thoughts, I was swayed to 55 by originality.

My first thought was 53. Of course I know pretty much nothing about grading gold...
It looks like 53 to me too, but these days a bit higher on AU gold seems to be the norm.

I would say 58 but I always lose at these so maybe, 50 at worst wouldn't surprise me to see it in a 53 though! Cool coin!

I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
55 here.

Glad I was wrong......Sure glad I don't collect raw gold.

Shoot - missed out on the fun.
Nice coin and OGH.
Missed out on the GTG... but a really nice gold coin.... and the grade looks solid. Cheers, RickO
My guess was 53, but the other picture showed more luster. 55 seems very accurate.

Dang, I thought there was too much rub/wear in the hair of Ms. Liberty to make 55.... But glad I was wrong, great coin!
Best, SH
