65* is the correct grade for this above average coin. It is very attractive, and consistent with mint set toning.
It has nothing to do with having more faith in the PCGS grade. It has everything to do with the PCGS registry, which only accepts PCGS coins. PCGS...
Wut? I would have called this 65. The big spot on the reverse limits the grade. I see nothing wrong with the color.
I'm going to guess AU details based on teh pictures, but they are hard to read.
I don't know what the price is on that one (you'll have to figure out if it is a good value or not). But, from the pictures posted, that appears...

No.
Post pics of what you have. Acetone may solve your problems? If not, I have had success with NCS.
Most of the coins mentioned here seem to be fairly available coins that are simply more expensive than the person can afford (although, many...
What is it worth? The copper value is about 2 cents. What will some poor, unfortunate sucker pay for this counterfeit? Way too much.
A modern proof will be struck twice at higher pressures with special presses on specially prepared planchets with dedicated dies. If any of...
