Guess The Grade - High Relief Edition

Posts: 1,010 ✭✭✭✭✭
I am very lucky to have been able to add a High Relief Saint to my collection today. Although I may have already had a few bullion coins at the time, it was a visit to a Saint Gaudens exhibit at a local museum that really spurred my interest in collecting "rare" gold coins. The High Relief in particular was sort of that iconic piece that was an aspirational coin for me. "Someday" maybe I will be able to get one. Well, today was the day!

HR enhances some design detail that I am attracted to like the leg up on the rock and the eagles feet. But that's just me. Nice, congrats. Peace Roy

Somewhere between 58 and 63, inclusive.
Nice-looking coin, and congratulations on the acquisition!
EDIT: I'm probably being too conservative. Thought I saw some rub on the knee (could be the lighting).
Very nice! At the risk of embarrassing myself since I don't know how to grade these I will guess 65.

Would love to own one. I too must wait for that some day. Congratulations on acquiring your dream coin!
Really love the coin. Not sure on grade. I'll guess 64.

Whoa, that is an awesome coin! I have no skill grading something like that...64?
Never been good at grading these but I'll give it a try at MS63.
I do like the ones with a really small or nonexistent fin.
There is some rub on the leading edge of the wing but I don't think it's enough to make it AU.
Very nice coin

I am leaning towards 63. Really nice looking coin. If it somehow came out 58 then I want that kind of 58 for my type set. Congratulations.

Same pictures, but this time with the label.
MS63. The coin is flat edge, as noted (i think) by ReadyFireAim. It does not have a wire rim.
No cac but I don't know the history on this one. Maybe I'll give it a shot at some point. Seems like a nice 63 to me.
I am very happy w/the coin.

There is a lot to be happy with about that coin. I have that on my bucket list. Maybe someday. Enjoy the coin. It is amazing.
