I agree but even in AU50 this is a tough coin.

 

Ms62?

 

I'm not used to seeing or grading these so here goes nothing.......hmmmmm.........MS61

 

Off the top o' my head '55.......I'm probably off my beam though.

 

Ms-60

 

I give it a MS grade, 60-61.

 

62

 

I am not seeing mid MS Grades here.
Though I am not quite seeing MS grades there.
Beautiful coin, tough date and might get a bump there but what I am seeing is AU58. Wouldn't be surprised with a 62 in the TPG eyes though.

 

Ms61

 

Agreed

 

AU-53. All those bag marks though...

 

Although it is difficult to properly determine from your images,
when I look at the devices strike, and field luster, I discount the bag marks and expect a grade at least that of this coin: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1892-CC-20-GOLD-LIBERTY-DOUBLE-EAGLE-NGC-UNCIRCULATED-DETAIL-RARE-NICE-/130683296407?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e6d54da97

I have that coin certified MS63, which was searched for many years, and as I recall, was ultimately amazed at bag marks on the strong strike higher certified grade Type II coins. It was a significant 5 figure coin many years ago.

I may be incorrect, but that is my recollection for this type coin. I hope that I'm correct, as although it is one of the less expensive Carson City coins of that type, it is a still a "difficult" coin to locate. Best Wishes!! :thumb:

 

p.s. 61 would not surprise me, though.

 

I would guess AU55 but I'm not that good at grading gold coins, yet.

 

AU58 - I don't believe the design weakness is only caused by a poor strike... I detect hints of wear.

Agreed.

 

How on earth is everyone saying MS?

There is a fair bit of wear all along the obverse from what I see.

While the fields on the reverse are nice and clear mostly there is a couple deep gouges like on the shield.

I think AU55 or possibly if they are feeling harsh they may grade it AU50
