    physics-fan3.14 You got any more of them.... prooflikes?

    You are on a roll with difficult to grade series!

    These are particularly hard because they are incuse... the high points and the low points aren't necessarily where you would expect, and the wear behaves differently.

    However, if I'm interpreting the pictures correctly, I see some wear on the eagle's shoulder. I'm going to call this AU-58, and a really nice one!

    I grade it counterfeit. Tough to tell 100% from the pics though.

    Wow. These are so hard to grade. Slab shot shows way more luster btw. Nice.

    Yeah, I have to admit that I take less time shooting the coins before submitting them. I just get quick shots of them in case they're needed to file a claim.

    I guessed 63, but I think that’s because I forgot I was grading a coin the size of a nickel using photos the size of a silver dollar on my phone.

    I guessed 62 and was way off.
    Grading gold is quite the challenge.

    Sorry, but it’s not an MS-65 with that big mark in front of the Indian’s nose and a few of the other stray marks. I have a 1925-D in an NGC MS-65 holder that is much nicer than this. Here is the coin.

    Well, and that is true: Buy the coin and not the holder!

    I can't believe that made a 65. The feathers in the headdress are not defined enough and the bonnet is not that detailed. I've seen better looking 64's.

    Boy, I was wrong! Something looked off to me in those pictures. Nice results!
