This looks like a BU coin with nice luster and good detail. There are a lot of small nicks and scuffs plus some larger marks that IMO combine to bring the grade down to MS-61 or MS-62 at best.
Too bad it doesn't have a little "D" above the date!

The reverse is nice though, could make 63-64 if the big marks on the obv weren't there

Why is the coin flat around the Liberty's forehead?Please don't laugh, I don't know anything about US coins, but is this how it should be? |

MS-61 but if obv looked like rev MS-63 grader tend to be very reversed on grading a ST Gud's but too me it looks like a MS-63  but I don't count it the TPG's you may use  |

*DROOL* I've always wanted one of these, very nice coin. I don't know anything about grading these, but it sure looks MS to me.

MS60-61. A few nicks on the obverse, otherwise, could go 62-63.

Stratocaster:
St. Gaudens $20 coins often have flat faces, either from an uneven strike or from damage. Liberty's face is vulnerable in the open obverse field since there is no protection from adjacent design elements. When looking for a Saint make sure you check for a pretty face!

Very nice coin there but I have a question. How do you post your pics/scan to appear in a box that you can enlarge...drool drool?

Mike. I just post them large to begin with....and CCF just makes them smaller in the post. At that point, clicking on them to makes them bigger happens automatically. Now one thing that may be different from how you do it (not really sure how you have been doing it) is that I upload the pics to a separate host...not to CCF. then I just create an image reference in my post...to the picture on the server that I uploaded them to. In my case, I just buy server space on my own domains, but I am quite sure you could do the same thing with Photobucket or Webshots or any one of the several photo hosting websites. If you don't understand this or need more help, just ask me. I will stick with you till you get it. It is one of those things that can look confusing from the outside, but once you get it, it is incredible simple.

dcv. I tried webshots but it comes up with a little box with a red "x" in it. Any thoughts on how to do this for free online?

I would grade that at about MS-60 to MS-61. I wouldn't hesitate to give it a MS-63 except for those marks that are on the obverse.
