First of all, the toning is premium, if one likes that color pattern. The luster is medium-high, and is a positive, not a negative.

Upper left obverse fields are not bagmarks—they are gradations in the toning layers. Given that the coin has obvious eye appeal, good luster, no major distractions, it definitely is graded as a gem.
