My new Princess

I thought I would post on this forum in addition to Coin Community...different opinions.
This is one of my recent acquisitions. I have taken it to a gold dealer and verified that it is real gold, weight and measurements are on spec. I sent it to NGC yesterday...what do you all think the grade will be? I darkened the photo to bring out detail, the color is brighter than it looks.

Okay - I'll take a stab at AU58. Really don't know enough about these, but that is my try.

 

Ms-62

 

Lovely is my opinion (Now if they dont have that as a grade they should )

 

I'd say it's a solid 58...

AU58.

... and a nice one at that ! Excellent detail in the feathers. Looks like rub on the reverse ribbon - the only place I see significant loss of detail. Rest of coin looks so nice I wonder if the ribbon's lack of detail is due to poor strike and they'll call it MS after all.

Very few marks, particularly on reverse.

Great luster.

I do have one concern... on the obverse, the "A" in STATES is low and to the left. Is that typical for these ? I don't know. I know there has been much concern about counterfeits lately.

Good luck ! Post up when you hear back from NGC.

 

To my knowledge, after looking at other Princesses, I would say that the A is typical....mostly optical illusion.

 

^ the Brit talks sense

 

The detail on the reverse leaves is great, even with a weak strike.

 

In the words of Borat.. Sexy time!

 

AU 58 or altered surfaces.
