I don't normally like to post about stuff that's on the way, but I just can't wait to get this in my hands. From the BS&T; my favorite place to shop!

very nice!
That is a strong 62.
From the pics, looks like an easy 64.

Maybe net graded due to the coppery color on the reverse?

Don’t want to be a downer but photo looks edited to me. Zoom in on cheek and field above 1904 for example. Looks blurred vs the rest of the image.
Could just be image artifacts. Dunno.

Easy to see why you're excited. Looks like a great coin!
Most common of all coronet double eagles — yet still appreciated by all as a big chunk of old gold. 👍🏻
@Lazybones.... That looks like a real beauty.... Just something about 'big gold' coins that mesmerizes me... Love to see and hold them. Cheers, RickO
I had the same thought. Once you get it, can we get pics of what it actually looks like?

Looks like a 63/64. Nice coin!
Wow that coin is so clean and beautiful. Look at least Ms 64 to me
Cool coin
Nice one, The coin has the appearance of an MS66 (reverse) and even MS67 (obverse).
I think what might have held the grade back is a tiny amount of "rub" on the cheek and neck.
It would be necessary to inspect the coin in person to be sure.
Looks like it might be a doctored image to me.
