Looks like about Ms-61 maybe 2

RYK · August 15, 2004 9:35AM

62, maybe 63

MS61

I agree it should be a 61 but I could see a 62

AU58!!

AU58, I just picked one up raw with lots of luster for $169. I'm hoping it'll put MS63

Well the answer is indeed NGC AU-58.

I paid a fair $575 including the juice for this one.

The picture of this coin that I see is very large (almost as big as a plate) and even though there are slight blemishes that effect the lustre, the coin looks attractive and worthy of a low MS grade. Sometimes the difference between 58-61 on Liberty Gold is just subjective. I have this feeling that if the coin were submitted 8-10 times, 40% of the time it would come back 61. Congrats on the purchase... it looks to be a pleasing example
