Hi folks,
Just curious how you would grade this Saint Gaudens $20? It looks authentic to me but if anything suggests it to be fake, that would be good to hear also.

Looks very nice and authentic to me, but I think you've got rub on the eagle - AU58.
I'd grade it 63/64 despite the slight rub/stacking friction on the eagle and Lib's left knee/upper body. Luster is usually what drives these, then marks.

MS61...maybe it is the enlarged picture... just too many marks/dings, rub etc..... Cheers, RickO
58 would be my guess. A fair bit of rub is tolerated on MS pieces when it comes to Saints, but when the eagle's belly and the rock show rub - 58.
Even with rub, probably will grade 63 today.

A nice AU coin
With the luster and lack of large hits
would say 63.
58 here too
MS62
Attractive coin and looks better than the typical 63
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
Yup MS-61/2
Hoard the keys.
Looks like an easy 63 with a shot at 64.
62/63
Should go 63 at least. Shot 64.

I say 58
Well... did you buy the coin?? Inquiring minds want to know.....

Rub still making a 63 ? would dealers pay for a 63 ..or knock off 5-10 % under from a 63
It doesn't make a huge difference as the spread from 63 to 64 has contracted a lot the past few years (now $30). In fact the spread from 61 to 64 is only $50 ($1215 to $1265). While a coin like this may be bought as a raw AU58 or MS61 to cover for the rub or high point friction....once (or if) the coin holders as 63 it's going to bring 63 money in sight-unseen trading between the major generic gold players.
