Not sure why you think that's a striking error, or even what a striking error might be. But I'd say the coin is AU50, not enough luster to justify...
Yeah Dave, I think the TPGs have plenty of uses. And, as I have said countless times, they are without a doubt the single best thing that ever...
It might be toning, or it might not. Many Morgans are known for being "frosty", that could explain what you describe as a weird whitish film. But...
