65+?
63
how long has cac been stickering? it must be ages. when you crack coin out, do they want the sticker back to correct their database?
a 63 for comparison, after the fact
64 or better. 04’s come nice.
64+ to 65.
The only down side is that it’s most common $20 Liberty date by a considerable margin.
64
You think that coin is of the same quality as the one posted by @oreville?

well it is uglier, but 63 was it. but i've been wrong a lot lately. let's see the reveal.
market grade: melt
66
But to answer your question it looks nice.
The coin I bought is an MS-63 only because of the long bagmark on Liberty’s nose.
It is otherwise a high end MS-64.
I paid $4620.00 including the juice. Better than buying gold bars. But I have too many of these. I just happen to like the nice quality coins in vintage slabs. Otherwise, too common a date/mm.
I did not cheat
Unless that mark looks much worse in hand, I seriously doubt it’s the cause of the coin grading only MS63.

The grading for these coins used to be very conservative, and the prices were quite high relative to melt, like over $4,000 with a melt of $450. That’s the reason I have an MS-64 graded piece in my collection for the type.
The grading has gotten a bit loser, the population has increased and the relative value to melt prices are lower. In fact they are much lower because the price of bullion has exploded.
The same thing has happened with Type I gold dollars.
I had the same dilemma. Common date but I love how gold looks in the OGHs:
That is a classic example of a Green Label MS-63. It’s why some believe “OGL” slabs are worth a premium.
BTW it is a very nice MS-63 with great eye appeal for the grade.
