I really like the obverse on this double eagle. The photo of the reverse... I can't really make out that well.
Here is a tip for you. If you want grades, concentrate on the coin, not the slab. You need a good camera and cropping software. It's the coin that sets the grade, not the slab. The slab is just noise that makes the picture of the coin smaller.
Very nice coin without any spotting or toning spots. If you do want to include the slab, take one photo of the obverse showing the whole thing, then a shot each of the obverse and reverse as mentioned by BillJones.
I think it is an upgrade potential @KollectorKing...she looks more 64 to me
Looks pretty damn sweet to me. Of course gold almost always does.
The whole worlds off its rocker, buy Gold™.

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
Is it already yours or are you planning to BIN ?
You can count me in with the like crown.
Just a pretty piece all the way around.
Yep! I like it a lot
Sorry, none of the above.
Can you let us all put a play on it? Who is the seller?
U R teasing me@KollectorKing
Cant say for sure but it looks solid for the grade.
I do believe she is. You better watch it bro!
Love them slab gloves
Collector, occasional seller
I can pm you the seller’s addy. Bear in mind he wants top $$ for it/them.
go try...and I will C
probably worth 1,700, but they probably want more then that since it's on the high side
Like 21 big ones.
if he is holding out for that, it never changes owners
Nice.
Nice luster on this one.
For the coin or for the really nifty gloves?
Looks nice for a 63

Why it is what it is. Nice coin but if I'm paying for a MS64 it better be a 64 if not then it's a strong MS63 but not a 4 so why pay for a 64 if it in a MS63 holder, That is just me dumb Type2 thinking.
Hoard the keys.
Very nice, especially the obverse !!!
From the pictures it looks nice but the coin is slightly tilted and the images are not sharp. At $2100 the coin is aggressively priced with suboptimal pictures.
That is a nice gold coin... I think the price is representative of the owner's opinion of the coin...and, for lack of better pictures, it could well be justified. Cheers, RickO
Poor quality photos. Probably correctly graded as is. Pass.
The coin looks to be super smooth with a great cheek and fields, but I think that the photo presents the piece to its best advantage. If you look in front of Ms. Liberty's chin, you will see a dull spot. That might be why NGC only gave it an MS-63. The reverse photo of the coin is so smal that it is almost at the point of useless.
lEye appeal might give this coin a premum price for the assigned grade, but one would need to see this piece in person before you can say that it is a slam dunk up grade or crack-out candidate.
Nice coin, but seems a bit overpriced.

I can't grade very well from images but to my eye I see wispy lines running from 7 o'clock to 2 o'clock. If so that would explain why a MS 64 is sitting in a 63 holder.
Coin does have that nice peach color.
