This Gold 1855 $5 Liberty is graded by PCGS, I'll post the grade later today, I'd like opinions or best guess as to grade. Coin is well struck but for center weakness IMHO I believe is not wear, exhibits semi PL fiels, and really nice lustre. Some minor hairlines over the date. I tried to take a good photo............comments welcome image

    With the usual disclaimer about grading photos of the coin and not the coin itself, it looks Mint State and probably might go as high as MS62 possibly higher. My biggest concerns would be the hairlines at the date and flatness in the strike.

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    heh, I'll also hazard a guess of... MS-62 image

    AU-58 is my best guess. Nice coin too! image

    No rub on the obverse.......must be mint state. Beyond that, the photo is not good enough to determine more.

    Hmm I rest my case...first 3 posts are indeed Guru's (Boiler, Coinkat & Baley image

    PCGS graded this coin at MS-62, I truly believe it right on the money. I guess it can easily grade 63 too, but prefer having it undergraded and saying its PQ than being overgraded.

    I tried to take better photos, but still expirementing. Problem is once I got it right, I forget what I did, and gotta start all over. I go thru this weeklyimage
