    I’ll take a guess at 58 but if that’s not a rub on head, chest, leg and Eagles feathers could go 63

    Sure thing. You probably have seen that type of guess before, just phrased differently. 😉

    My view was 64 to 64+. As it appeared nicer than a number of the coins I see. That said, I almost never look at a 1924, as they are very common and readily available. However after seeing Mark’s comment, I have a question for the board.

    This is a higher mintage St Gaudens, so there are many nice examples. Does mintage impact the grade at tpg’s. For example if this exact coin was a 1914 or 1915, would the grade likely be higher. My understanding is that it really shouldn’t, but I am wondering what happens in reality?

    1. Fields are very clean. I personally wouldn't grade it that high, but grading services tend to be more generous with Saints.

    I think that if you guessed below 63, you’re grading too strictly and if you guessed above 64, you're grading too loosely.

    That pretty much sums up the Saint series.

    Very nice. Too many hits to be an MS64. MS63 but it has a really nice clean face. Would definitely buy.

    Late to the show, but I'll go with 63...

    Im losing faith in my grading from pictures after this comment. My first thought was above 64, then Cant see why its not 65 minimum and ended at ms66

    I believe the coin resides in a rattler holder so I am going to guess the holder says ms65
    but todays grade should be ms66

    may the fonz be with you...always...

    I’m thinking 63. Saints are always pretty👌

    This thread, a current one on WLH, and a previous thread on $5 gold! ...even some of my own pictures of coins I'm physically holding! A lot can happen with creative use of lighting...

    I've been wrong plenty of times before. And, while it looks better on my computer screen, now, than it did on my iPad very early this morning, I still can’t see a 65, much less, a 66.

    I was thinking 63 or 64. A large oversized photo makes the coin look worse than it is.

    My first impression was 63, and usually my first impression ends up being better than my carefully calculated answer. 62 seems too harsh. 64 is possible.
