    There's light wear especially on the Indian's cheek bone. Looks like an AU58. Very nice coin. I like it a lot. B)

    I dont think its wear, I think its just a bit of a weaker strike. Not a lot of marks - my first thought was 64. But looks kinda dull, might take it down to a 63.

    MS62.... Was leaning to a lower grade, then looked again.... I like Indian gold coins...probably makes me over grade them. Cheers, RickO

    64 was my first impression.

    I would say a 55--there seems to be noticeable wear on that lower, telltale feather on the obverse. The reverse looks sharper, but there may be slight wear on the breast of the eagle.

    If it's a 58 it is much nicer than most of the others: https://www.pcgs.com/coinfacts/coin/1911-d-2-50-strong/images/7943

    Edited to add; on reverse there is a questionable patch on reverse upper part, may be nothing.

    I think it could go either way 58-61
    Wouldn’t be surprised to see it 62

  • JonBrand83JonBrand83 Posts: 490 ✭✭✭✭✭

    These coins often have some weakness at the bottom feathers of the obverse. This one seems to have a little of that.

    These are hard to grade from photos. My initial guess was MS63, so I'll stick with that.

    Man....my first thought was way higher than the crowd. I'll go with 62.
