I don't see that making a MS65, IMO. Too many scuffs on the cheek and fields in front of her face.

So did I catch them on a bad day?


Maybe you did. Your coin has the strike, surface preservation, and eye appeal to make 64 IMO. The question mark is luster which weighs heavily on gold and is tough to interpret from images. Because of this, your coin would need strong luster through-out to earn a 64 grade.

P.S. In images it is almost impossible to differentiate a 63 from a 64 $20 Lib when it comes down to luster.

They must have graded it on a Friday afternoon and wanted to get out of there. Looks like an easy MS64.
