Guess the gold eagle grade (revealed)

[nwcs]

This is the first gold coin I've bought in 2 years but I think it was worth the wait. I just got it today from Carl Wohlforth. Best addition to my type set in a while. What do you think she grades?

I'm terrible at grading gold (just look at my F15 guess on the VF35 one dollar gold thread ) but I would guess MS62 as the obverse is quite nice but the reverse has many small nicks on it.

 

The color looks beautiful in your image, did you take the shot?

[nwcs]

Thanks! Yep, took the images a couple of hours ago. The rev is a little more golden than in the image but otherwise it's right on.

Sweet! Great strike on that coin!!!

 

I'd say it's a solid 62, with a shot at 63, given the fact that gold is allowed more chatter than other coinage.

I don't know gold, but the coin is very eye appealing--MS-63??

[reid1836]

I`d say AU-55.

A beautiful coin, but no experience grading gold. I like it.

If U guy's r right I missed this one by a mile, I'm not a yellow lover but I thought 64

[nwcs]

You're the only one who is right! It is a solid 64. Even a tiny bit on the upper end.

That's a nice one Neil. I still have to get one of these for my type set.

You're the only one who is right! It is a solid 64. Even a tiny bit on the upper end.

 

That's why grading from a pic is just a game...

You guys are tough graders! After looking at many of those I thought that one had a chance of upgrading. I sent it in but no go. It has great luster and eye appeal. That is one coin I'd like to buy back.

Carl: '32 Eagles come scuffy and dirty. This one is pretty clean for a '32. I would guess high end MS63, might 64 on a good day.
