Here is a crusty gold coin - based on appearance, would you grade it? This thing is blown WAAAY up in size:

AU53

I'd guess 55.

I'll say AU53

Technically 55, net 53. I like it, but I like gold, especially pre Civil War gold.

AU55, nice piece of S-mint gold...

I like it as an AU50-53. Always found it strange that the 1$,10$ and 20$ coins are out there but the 2.50$ & 5$ are classic rarities.

Nice first year branch issue

AU53. Not much actual wear but a few too many small marks.

In hand:

AU details, scratch. Yikes, this is small coin but that is it. Almost want to crack and resubmit.
I got this from a British auction many years ago...

The scratch seems pretty borderline. Would probably straight grade on a different day.
