I don't see an error, just PMD. That thumbprint doesn't help it much either. At least it is silver.
Looks like it was either buried or acid treated.
The coin is a PCGS SP-66. I should have mentioned that this is not my coin. With a price tag of $7,850,000 it is way out of my league. The coin...
No, that's nasty. I was just trying to give a possible explanation of the labels on your slabs. As far as the numeric scale, just go to the PCGS...

O, just saw that. No score!!!
I think he did pretty good, a 13 cent coin sold for $3.08. Score!!!
Yea, I've been saving for the FUN show. But I couldn't possibly wait another two months.
I think it is a nice coin, but the luster bothers me a bit. I wonder if it is just the image. The TPS doesn't really bother me, I tend to agree...
