    I figured it might be a high grade given the lack of contact marks. The areas I thought were rub must not be rub and maybe a slab shot or video that showed more luster would be more convincing of the grade.

    Yup....what is all that discoloration on the high points like on the knee ? :confused:

    But no contact marks, absolutely correct.

    I've seen/read about many coins that were originally MS (admittedly I recall only up to MS-65 not higher) that were then graded by CACG and got shot down to AU-58 by JA's minions. Rub or wear or friction...on HIGH points.

    Could even an MS-67 be misgraded ? I wonder.
