Another thread got me thinking about $5 libs and I had this one sitting around. The reverse is the usual. mike

AU58? The black in the denticles makes me think it must have circulated at least a little.

58, 60, or 61. I'm not too sure. Guess I'll go MS60.

AU55 or 58. I think those are circ marks. I'm not very good at finding the rub on Liberty gold though. I just don't look at the coins often enough to learn.

MS-62, and not PQ.

It's Mint State, but there are too many marks in the field to call it anything choice.

I agree Bill. mike

Gold grading has always baffled me. It is so very different than other types of coins (at least in my eyes) to grade.

Every time I think I understand how grading gold works, I see something that teaches me (yet again) how very little I know and how very much I have to learn.
