OK, I'm confused. Which is it ? Myself, I think it's borderline bag material. Based on the pics it appears the coin has at the least been wiped...
Being dirty does not prevent a coin from being graded. Dirty coins are graded all the time. And removing the dirt seldom increases the grade....
Howdy Roads - Welcome to the Forum !! Sorry, but what you have there is not a genuine coin but a reproduction of some sort.
A reduction as compared to what ? Now I know what you mean, but I would wager there are a lot of folks who don't. That said, I have found that...
