      Well I have a PQ 64 that looks better so I'll guess 63. I am going to the safe deposit today so might dig out my 1907 and post a scan...

      A high 63 or low 64. There are several significant nicks that I think would make it borderline. The eye appeal is really nice, if that is an accurate representation. So I'll go with 63.75.

      I took a "if I saw it raw, and it was for sale by a needy seller " approach and though the luster and detail is there, it looks like it's been in a pocket at some point in time (rub) so a 58 is my guess.

      It looks like a 63.

      The facial feature have not been seriously impaired by the contact marks. This would place it in the 64 range. Luster would probably determine if its 63 or 64.

      My guess is 64.

      Knowing gold is so soft, it is a MS-65

      OK, I'm no expert at grading so bear with me...lol.

      I do not see any wear (Not to mention the photo is hard to go by, but none the less...lol) On the eyebrow, the hair above the ribbob, the curls of hair above the eye and ear, the hair curl below the ear, the nose or the chin. I believe these are the spots that first wear down. Now there are alot of contact marks on this coin.

      Since there is no trace of wear, I would put this coin at minimum MS-60...Moving on from there.

      With luster, strike and eye appeal involves, I would move it to a max of MS-63, possibly MS-62.

      Again, I am no expert here...lol.

      Thanks,
      Ray

      I won't answer because I saw the coin a few weeks ago and I already know the grade. I will say that the grade is a crock!

      MS-62, without seeing the reverse of course.
    • BustmanBustman Posts: 1,911 ✭
      without seeing the reverse.....I would say the obverse is a high end 63/ low end 64.

      So what is the actual grade?

      I agree with nwcs: a high 63 or low 64.

      63 shot at 64 - no way in hell 66, not even a perfect reverse would give it a 66.

      I think these big pictures really make every mark stand out and show marks not usually seen when viewed in person but I think MS66 was a little high for this coin too(unless I owned it then would be under-graded image). mike
    • pmh1nicpmh1nic Posts: 3,337 ✭✭✭✭✭
      If you're accustom to grading silver take into account that the services give a little more slack to gold coins when it comes to contact and scuff marks. Taking that into consideration along with large photograph and the 66 doesn't surprise me. It's a very nice coin.
      The longer I live the more convincing proofs I see of this truth, that God governs in the affairs of men. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without His notice is it possible for an empire to rise without His aid? Benjamin Franklin

      No Freakin Way! If that's a 66, I got a couple of stellar 68s for you, sure it only says MS-64 on the holder, but by this standard they are at least 68s. Who graded this?

      MS-66? If that is the case, there is still hope for my 1906-S $20 Gold liberty coin. image

      This one is more of my idea of an MS66. I know these pictures were taken by different techniques so these coins viewed in person might be very comparable. image mike
    • jtrykajtryka Posts: 795 ✭
      Now you're talkin mike, I would pay big money for the 85 any day of the week, as for that tired 07, I'd pay $225 tops.

      PS-Who graded that 07?
