1989 $50 Gold Eagle MS69 Certification #12878239, PCGS #9834

On the 2nd of August 2024 and using my ELIKLIV microscope and Vantage 10X loupe to examine this coin, I describe it thusly. The Obverse shows marks marks on the torch staff below her hand, marks on the gown on the large fold just below her breast and a large mark below the fold that is a continuation of the heavy mark on the fold. a light mark in the gown at her right knee. I see darker gold toning in and below the palm branch in her left hand, a spot between the "ER" of "LIBERTY", at her hair just below the "LI" of "LIBERTY, a dark spot with a halo just below the "L" of "LIBERTY", around 4 stars on the left rim across from the farthest point of her hair, an area in the middle of the sun's rays. The Reverse shows a mark on the Eagle's neck that looks like another coin's edge hit, a small dot on the upper leg of the "T" & small marks on the left leg of the "U" of "UNITED", a mark on the "S" of "DOLLARS" marks on the rim edge above "OF" and below the "E G" of "FINE GOLD", a small dot above the nest foliage and below the "TR" of "TRUST". A darker toning can be seen in the right wing feathers below "TED" of "UNITED". There is no other spotting or cloudiness to be seen on this coin. This coin is held in a PCGS holder Generation 4.4 used from the November 2005 to December 2011 period.
