    I've been looking for a gold eagle for four months or so and finally found one that had a good price and a decent grade:

    I say the obvious grade for this beautiful coin is AU-55 . Trace of wear on hair,above eyes and on coronet. Most of Mint luster is still present . Also, a few dings on the obverse.

    MS-61

    I think she is as pristine as they come and pleasingly void of the nicks and hits that so many of these exhibit in the fields. I am at MS61 myself.

    MS-62 or 63.
    Really nice gold.

    Must remember that gold is soft, so can't use silver grading standards! Not AU, for sure.

    62+/63
    Has a few ticks but no major scrapes.
    Luster is subdued or it would be a 3+.
    Definitely MS.

    No doubt it is a sharp coin, there is evident wear and halo's around the devises,
    I can't make you stand up to what you have been taught,
    But, I feel more of you than in the passt feel like I do.
    this gradeflation is gonna bust, I suggest you all get on the right side of the market.
    Hopefully @johnmilton responds I will be back by six.
    Just joking John. I really appreciate your opinion.

    Okay, looking at the way people have responded here, it’s way better than AU-55. The lowest grade would be AU-58, but I’m pretty sure it’s in a Mint State holder. I would pay Mint State money for it.

    I will say MS-63 with the eye appeal of an MS-64.

    I have pieces with more issues in MS-65 holders. I own one of them. I bought the coin when I was in high school, had it graded figuring it would come back MS-64, and it came back MS-65!

    Oh man... I cannot see it with this blasted new tiny computer my IT guys gave me. They don't understand an old man needs large monitors and large images.... Does that say MS63?

    I can't read it either, so I'll sneak in a guess of MS64.

    63 looks correct for that coin. Nice pick up.
