Thanks for catching that, fellers! My bad!
These look manufactured to me.
I think y'all are crazy. Even with fuzzy pics I grade it XF40. And the green specks may come off with acetone. Still... worth a whopping $5 raw.
This is correct. Although PCGS has a special running for variety attribution right now where it is $12 per coin instead of the usual $18. [ATTACH]

I have to go off memory now. But as I graded it, luster was gem plus, strike was gem plus, and color/eye appeal was off the charts. No idea what...
Great thread. Very interesting.
Just to clarify, the coin in the pics above is not my coin. It's one of the two MS67's PCGS has already graded. I didn't get a chance to snap pics...
