While I don't care for the imaging the detail definitely looks at least AU to me.

Don't get overly paranoid. As Sap said, what are the weight and dimensions? If the weight and dimensions are good, and the bar has no obvious signs of tampering, then it's fine. It's supposed to be 19x19x5mm. An ounce of gold is very small and very dense. The tungsten worry is almost too remote to even consider. Just check the above and put your mind at ease.

I'd open the capsule and see if it can be easily removed. If it cannot then I'd return it.

3.24 grams was in tolerance so this one was a touch heavy if the scale is accurate. The previous posts explain why.

That is one tiny scale! Good thing you weren't weighing an American Silver Eagle. You wouldn't be able to see the readout.

I'd prefer a Pine Tree Shilling like this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2043034715...mkgroutmp=no

Nothing against the NE Shilling but the lack of design leaves me wanting.

It appears you have a 1909-O. See mintmark at front of arrows reverse side. As such (if genuine) this is a key date worth many thousands of USD.

It appears to be the real deal, in AU condition and likely cleaned. Can you get a close-up of the mintmark?

It might have environmental damage and if it doesn't then AU+ sounds fair. I'd try soaking it in pure acetone for a few hours. There is definitely something on the surfaces and it needs conserving. But don't clean it.

Nice gift! Did she have any idea of the value? If she could use the money you should give her a portion of the value.

Sounds like she handed you $3000 worth of coins and might not have known they were worth over $300. Anyway enjoy your windfall.

Retail on a top tier certified, MS64 1904 $20 Lib is right around $2500 these days. Which is low imo considering there's $1900 in gold there. You should be able to find eager buyers at $2300 or $2400.

If you could get a CAC sticker on it the value increases significantly, to over $3000. What TPG did you use?

64 looks conservative here. A factor is the coin shows no signs of dipping that is prevalent on Morgans. The virgin surfaces alone are worth a full point to many collectors. 64 is fine as a technical grade. A market grade of 65 is deserving.

Cleaned with detail just making XF (maybe). It's up to you of course but if it's cheap it doesn't look bad to me.

The coin looks like it may have some problems, assuming it straight grades my guess would be VF30.
