As a disclaimer- remember you all dont see the coin in hand and apparently 3 professional graders who are much smarter and educated than us felt it deserved the given grade

MS62. Too much going on in key visual areas on the obverse to justify anything higher.

I can't see above 61 and think 60 might be the grade with anything higher a gift of sorts. Looks like almost a grinding on the cheek.
Well, just Love coins, period.
MS62 only because the luster looks satiny and muted in those photos. Is the base grade is higher and it has some cartwheel, MS63 is very likely. While the cheek is rough, the fields are 64+ near gem. So the base grade is needed to apply the subtractions.

That cheek chatter is disconcerting. MS60+
MS63. But I’m terrible at grading gold, so I expect to be wrong.

Makes the most sense..
Real guess = 61
Guess adjusted based on the tone of your subsequent post = 58
63
My thought before reading the guesses was ... "my mind wants to say 62 because of the cheek but at the same time the fields and the luster and the rest of the coin all look 64, shot 5 ... so that probably carried it to a 63"

Newer holder so my guess is 63, especially with what appears to be nice color. I’m thinking that may have bought some forgiveness from those face marks.

ms -62
Ms-66…Guessing it is from the infamous 1901 bulk grading/mass hallucination event across the street
That’s not a grade, +’s start at 62.
If a cheek is bad enough to neg a near gem down to 60 it would just Gen the coin. That isn’t even that bad as far a gold goes, many double eagles have layers of cheek removed from their time spent in heavy bags and still get grades.
It only looks that bad because the rest of the coins isn’t equally baggy.

This has to be one of those you’re not going to believe they graded it as high as they did coins, no trick to low grade unc. Probably has deer in the headlights blinding luster in hand
I think this is the answer. Otherwise, 62 seems par for the course.

MS62. Any higher grade is overgraded in my opinion.

I thought that the third grader got involved only when the first two graders disagreed on the grade.

64 no CAC
With a face like that I have to say MS62.

Those look more than just luster breaks on the face from sitting in a bag. A few prominent scrapes would probably justify a 62 grade. But grading gold is funny. Here’s a 63+ DE, with luster break on her cheek and face, so I’ll go 63.
I know it’s like comparing apples to oranges, but…..
62+
MS-62 to 63. Aside from the rough face, the rest of the coin is fairly smooth.
The tolerances for marks on these coins has really gotten very high. More than 20 years ago, I had this one graded by NGC. It came back as an MS-65, which was a clear case of overgrading to me. I graded it MS-64. Now it pretty much looks like the other $10 Liberty coins that get the same grade.
guessing what they graded it since you're asking? 65 or 66
probably should grade 61-62 lol
63
I would give it a 62+ because of how nice the strike and luster are. That said, it is nowhere near to a 66, which I fear may be its assigned grade.

62 here.
The fields look really nice and the luster looks ok. I am guessing they gave a pass on the chewed up cheek and gave it a 63.
unc details . scratched
Only if we win it! 🤣 😉

How does that cheek even get past ANYBODY? That is not simple bagging. I will stick at 61 but if my coin would not have sent it off for grading....
Well, just Love coins, period.
Does @Crypto win this MS-63+ 1901 $10 gold coin?
I'm gonna go with MS66.

63, no CAC
I’ll guess CAC because “3 professional graders” and 63 because it’s not.
