[QUOTE="hontonai, post: 906530, member: 4703"]As stated on the label, you have a moderately high-grade $20 gold piece, graded by one of the two top third party grading companies. I'm neither a US coin collector, nor a fan of the graders, but I don't see any "weird writing": Top line - date and denomination Second line - Initials of Professional Coin Grading Service, and the grade they give the coin: Mint State 64 (in the Sheldon scale, which goes from 60 to 70 for uncirculated coins. Third line - Description of the coin's variety (Apparently that year there were similar coins minted with and without "In God We Trust) Fourth line - Designation of the coin's identification in the PCGS system Last line - The specific ID number of that coin as registered by PCGS The bar code is based on the registration number.[/QUOTE]
