A recent purchase of mine for my type set. I don't see any evidence of tooling and the details appear sharp.
I'm thinking about sending it to our host and would appreciate comments on authenticity and grade by others more experienced with this series.

Based on the pictures, MS 63.
So maybe worth submitting.
Nice looking example.

Nice looking $5 Indian...and excellent pictures. Looks 63....Cheers, RickO
These are difficult to grade. It's a nice coin with no significant distracting marks. Problem for me is that it appears to have lost the original skin. I don't know if this constitutes "cleaning" or how it would affect grade. I'll go with the consensus 63.

Very seldom are gold coins that shade of orange-gold, so my guess is that it looks different in-hand. If so, obviously, I have no idea whether it looks better or worse.

Wow a really nice super eye appeal BU beauty. Send it in for sure. As to numerical grade I leave that to our hosts. Love it’s luster and color.
Looks worth submitting. I like it.
Could be better than 63.
Outstanding color on that one! Slab it!
That's really orange, but I assume it is the lighting that you (or someone else) has used to get the image. Send it in and see what happens.

It looks like it has a shot as MS-64 to me.
