For those who were confused on the AU vs. MS of this coin: the high points to look for here are the Eagle's brow, the hair over the ear of...
Your poll choices make me question my guess, but I'll stand fast at MS-64 BN. This appears to be a very attractive coin.
Glad to see Lizard Skin Cameo is alive and well. I'm not going to lie. Those look genuinely awful.
You've got a losing record, then, buddy ;) I've posted all 4 - 1 no star, 2 with star, now 1 PCGS. As for the 1813 no star, that's the one I...
Obviously I don't know your situation, but if you can stretch just a little bit for a 65, I think you'll be happier. A 64 is nice, but a 65 really...
I'll post one. Currently in a PCGS holder, so currently no star (does have a CAC though, if that matters). Fields are flashy and lustrous:...
I recognize the first one, but can you tell us about the other 2? And why they are your favorites?
Very nice coins! How do the images compare to the coins in hand?
Why did you always want one? Is this a rare date? Are you working on a set? Did you like the design? What attracted you to this coin? It looks...

They do not look like proofs to me.
Yes, some coins are known for a green-gold appearance. However, very carefully compare the naturally toned green-gold look of the coin that...
The High Relief 1907 St. Gaudens were intentionally struck 5 times to bring up all the detail. The proof examples were struck 9 times:...
Most of my nicer coins came from Heritage: https://coins.ha.com/itm/liberty-double-eagles/1904-20-ms64-prooflike-ngc/a/1212-4839.s
Interesting - the Royal Mint acts as a rare coin dealer and authenticator. That's pretty cool.
I think yours is PL even without conservation. PCGS will designate PL on any deserving coin now, but it didn't when that was originally graded....
Not really, it's more because the 1904 has a very high mintage compared to many other dates. Thus, there are more survivors in high grades. I'm...
Every few years, the TPGs update their slabs to make them clearer, more scratch resistant, stronger, etc. They also have experimented with...
