<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Luckydas, post: 2329559, member: 69762&quot;]It has to be a knowing net-grade, not just dark toning. Otherwise, the detail is so strong, that it would have to get a high grade, even if ugly toned. Indeed, it was previously in an &quot;AU details&quot; slab. If this coin were problem-free, it would be a 53 or better, depending on luster. Bad luster could bring it no lower than 45. (I can post a couple examples of exactly such coins, if you wish). There is no way an experienced PCGS grader could miss this. So they must have been aware that something was wrong, but maybe couldn&#039;t tell exactly what. So they just dropped the grade drastically.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
