  I like it. I would think it would grade around F-12.

  I like the coin, I would grade it a Fine-15.

  Is that a C or an O?!?
  
  p.s. I don't like it as I just don't care for liberty gold in such a low grade, and I can't tell enough to form an (un)informed opinion on its originality.

  I would say F-12, but VF-20 would not shock me.....
  
  Looks like a nice coin.....

  New ANACS graded it VF-20. It looked more like a "Fine" to me, just like to many of you. Otherwise, the coin looked pretty original, and it sold on ebay for about what one expect to pay for a "Fine". I personally try to stick to XF and AU, but not infrequently will buy a nice original VF. For a rare or interesting date, I might buy a "Fine" or lower, but for a relatively common date, I generally avoid the grades below VF. My reasoning is that you usually do not have to pay much more to get a VF coin, and you get much more meat on the coin for your money. That's my approach the mid-grade circulated rare date gold coins.

  Maybe it's the pics, but the color looks a little off. You sure that hasn't been cleaned??

  Of course, I am not sure. I have never seen the coin. In my experience, however:
  1) Coins with that look are not harshly cleaned.
  2) Lower grade coins are not generally harshly cleaned.
  3) ANACS is really tough on cleaned coins and is quick to net-grade them.

  I would have said F-15 and while not completely original, not horrible, either.

  That pic is poor. In hand, that coin will show more detail than what's shown in the pic.
