It looks fake.... I don't think nickel chips as easily as the gouges all along the rim of the coin seem to suggest.
Sounded to me like ACG wasn't good because they didn't label anything and got in a bunch of lawsuits. I can't see why anybody would be disgruntled...
BTW - yeah, they don't sit there and go "this counterfeit borders on MS64, but because of this scratch I'll bump it down to MS63." But I count as...
Not if the owner doesn't care either.... I think you yourself said that " ....some people collect cleaned coins..." BTW--If you want one that will...
