  I don't see any wear or significant contact marks so I'll guess MS64.

  I'll give you a 55 on that one, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm dead wrong.

  Let's try not to get upset.

  My gut reaction is AU58... but the combination of me not collecting gold and this being such a tiny coin makes it as much a guess as anything.

  When in doubt, don't.

  my first reaction was au58, so i'll stick with that. however, that is a really nice looking coin regardless.

  that's a common striking problem with these. you could be right about the grade though.

  I'd buy it in either a 63 or 64 holder (or lower if I was that lucky).
  
  My guess would be MS64.

  Striking softness as just pointed out above.
  
  Notice how boldly LIBERTY is struck?

  Luster grazes vs. luster breaks. There are grazes, but no breaks. The cheek and other high points would support that. What also looks darkish and similar to luster breaks
  is the field luster reflecting back in patches.

  The mint had problems with their gold dollar hubs that year. Some fully struck 1874 gold dollars have a partial or even missing "LIBERTY".
