    My picture is a little blurry...looks AU-58, maybe higher. Looks original. I like the dirt on the reverse. Worth at least $200.

    The picture is blurry. My guess would be EF-45 to AU-50. I think that there might be a lot of rub in the fields, which has removed most all of the mint luster except between the letters.

    The 1861 gold dollar is rated as a "common date," but I have not seen that many really nice Mint State examples through the years. Most are AU or Choice AU. The latter pieces are often in MS-61 through 63 holders.

    I think it would go low end AU (50 or 53)
