    About as high a grade as possible with a toner. For some reason toned coins never (or at least very very rarely) get 70 grades from PCGS.

    Good Question!
    Anyone care to put their grading abilities to the test? A simple PR-## or MS-## will be great and I will message anyone who is willing to guess with the actual grade assigned by PCGS.

    My guess at that grade is that those are die polish lines which made the coin almost proof like, hence the star.
