Proof - 64, Cameo. The only negative for some collectors is that it has been dipped.

Agree. Just don't completely buy the "polishing lines" statement - polishing lines aren't usually at sharp angles as here. Even if so, they're still a distraction.

A few minor hairlines in the fields, perhaps a few more on the raised features of the design, more obvious on the obverse.

With a silver coin in this high condition, the edge milling should have sharp, almost cutting feeling to it.

Came back PR-62. Horrible grade possibly as a "reply" to its not being sent in Express due to potential value. It's at NGC now under "Express" for another opinion. I saw NOTHING that would have put it below a 64. Let's see what happens this time in the basket. PG

Crap, I'm sorry, I just read your update. Unless I'm missing something on the photos, that looks like a 65 to me. Were there any rim dings?

could you point out what's definitely a die scratch and what's actually a flaw/ real hairline? cause if the long thing behind Liberty is a die scratch, PR-62 isn't a proper grade, but if it's a hairline on the coin, it fits the bill for the current PCGS grade. did you get true views for the coin?

That line is a polishing line. It's an outie instead of an innie..

Welp, here she is - back from the cleaners erm graders....

20-Cent-Proof---Grading-Thoughts/Observations?

and another thang --- NGC correctly attributed my 1840-O Half Eagle as "Large Diameter (Broad Mill)" while a) PCGS won't attribute that variety although it is discussed at length in their "Coin Facts" area; and b) ANACS refused to designate it as such although it was originally broken out of a 1st generation ANACS holder WITH the Broad Mill designation. Love me some TPG's these days.... PG
