Opinions appreciated,hope the scan is detailed and large enough.

Thanks
Larry

For those of you that graded it a MS64, NGC agrees with you. I was hoping for a 63 so to say the least I am very happy.

    Larry, I can't see enough of the hair detail. If there is no rub, looks like at least a 63. If there is a rub, then a very nice looking AU58.

    This needs to be submitted... and I am not saying that because I like it. Unless the picture is deceptive for which I have no reason to believe that it is, I say 64 minimum and usually I am tough on gold...I learned that from the WSOG test which I recommend to everyone... Great coin and good luck

    Thanks guys,Eric I sent you a 600 dbi scan email. My reasoning for asking opinions is that 1. I ain't worth a dang at grading gold. 2. If it's an AU58 not worth sending in for grading.

    Got your email Larry and replied. Looking at the larger images, I think this is a 64. I would strongly recommend sending it in to be certified.

    MS-63 at best due the scuffing in the obverse fields.

    Cannot tell the grade from the pictures but if I owned this one it would definitely go to PCGS. Looks to be a really nice MS coin.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    In my non-expert opinion, I'd go MS-62. There's a lot of distracting marks on the obverse and reverse.

    62 raw to a 64 in plastic is a nice chunk of change...Nice score.
    Some coins are just plain "Interesting"
