<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tom B, post: 2019778, member: 11854&quot;]My <i>guess</i>, based upon the single set of images, is that the coin has been dipped white and retoned.&nbsp; The odd splashes of blue on the obverse appear to come out of nowhere and affect both raised devices and flat field in an indiscriminate manner.&nbsp; Additionally, what many are calling white gunk on the reverse appears to me to be a difference in the layer or color of toning.&nbsp; The coin has better than EF40 details, but ANACS, like NGC and PCGS at the time, often silently net graded a coin by dinging it grade points when they didn&#039;t like something with the surfaces.&nbsp; It likely looked either just like this, or pretty darn close to this, when ANACS graded it way back when.&nbsp; My next guess, and keep in mind these are just guesses based upon experience, is that this coin would get a details grade (genuine holder) if submitted today.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
