There has been many a coin toned completely black and yet when dipped, had great luster hiding underneath. Also been plenty of them that had no...
And sometimes NGC will use one designation and PCGS will a different one, or vice versa - just to be different from the other guy. What it boils...

Good point Michael, didn't look close enough to see it :oops:
It's die wear, nothing more.

Yeah these flaws are inherent to the process and I have no problem at all with grading such coins. But that doesn't answer the question - can 2...
