    The lack of luster could be the pictures, also usually tpg's tend to be lenient on gold in my opinion, especially early gold.

    That’s too high for me Frank. I’ll go buy some more rocks. :)

    I thought you did. There’s a show and sale about an hour from my house this weekend and I’ll be going. Rocks, fossils and minerals along with jewelry will be on display. It’s a fairly large show and it’s a lot of walking on my bad knee but I’ll get to every table once before I leave.

    Wild guess of XF 45
    ...based on the combo of wear and not seeing luster in the photo

    As my wife says:

    Frank doesn't have a collection.
    He has a collection of collections."

    I would say 55 and based on the halos around the letters I would expect PCGS would call it cleaned if it was an 1897 eagle.

    I'm at 55 also. The high points show some rub but little or no actual wear. Some rub in the fields.

    My thoughts exactly as well, the luster break in the right field tipped it for me and the minor touches of wear. I sure hope it is genuine cause it looks like a great coin to find raw.

    If you watch certified Gold coins offered on ebay, you'll find device rub on MS66 coins.

    Old gold always gets a free pass. It seems that when a new piece comes to market It always grades at least 10 points above what it should be.
