<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 24704453, member: 78719&quot;]Well, here is a thought of mine (or maybe fear?): could this have been puttied? I haven&#039;t really seen gold to tone in the holder otherwise and the obverse surfaces just look &quot;different&quot;. I will post some more under natural light tomorrow. There appear to be superficial swipes (not into the metal) at the base of of the bust and in the field to the left of Vicky on the obverse &amp; even above the bust and to the right. When the coin is rotated the metal looks good; but I am tempted to have it conserved - what do y&#039;all think?</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the coins surfaces and esp. on the reverse as has been pointed out are quite nice. PCGS gave it a 63 but will note that I have a number of earlier Vicky half sovs and not always sure about the grading on these - i.e. the TPGs can be IMHO way off and to the tune of 1-2 numerical grades high or low.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
