    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.

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