    I agree it is the best photo of a 65 I have seen. From the photo it has a shot at 66.

    So the million dollar question is if it had a 67 label would it still get a CAC sticker or would it have to be accurately graded at 65 to get it. image

    It's not a weak 4, it's where the darn digits coming off - I think I saw remnants of a 3 under it when I imaged it image

    I know there's a slight weak strike, but this should be in a 66 holder; no questions asked.

    Great looking coin and congrats on the addition image

    The ONLY area of weak strike is the 4, which has been noted as characteristic of this date by David Akers in his "Handbook Of 20th Century Gold".

    The strong strike will be on the nose of the next person who points it out again. image

    That is a beautiful saint, I agree that it should grade a solid 66. Maybe you should try the submit to NGC and then cross route.
