    NGC-MS67. Really, it's just a wildd guess-you say you're drooling & it may surprise us, so this is an out of the ordinary guess.

    Looking at the coin though, it looks 65.

    I think that coin has a shot at 66, but I think NGC graded it a 7.

    Nice coin---I've seen some like it...my dealer bought a MS65* in a NGC slab the other day---wanted $1,600 for it if I remember right.

    I think this one graded MS66....just because its gold...most of the time I think I would grade it MS65.

    IMHO it has too many bag marks to make 67---I think this is the case where it is overgraded because of either the coin---or who sent it in.

    NGC probably gave it a 67. Based on the photos, I give it a 66...Mike

    Those obverse scratches really kill the grade. I guessed 65*, but that is a PQ 64 MAX.
