<p>[QUOTE="iPen, post: 2817214, member: 69760"]I got this one graded recently by PCGS and it received a straight grade from them despite the discoloration on the obverse shoulder area. It appears much more distinct and the coin is much brighter in-person (I think that my camera makes it look darker). Also, what looks to be a fingerprint on the obverse, does not look at all like a fingerprint in-person - it looks to be scattered carbon spots. Is this a planchet error or defect?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]660595[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]660594[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]660593[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact, the entire coin looks unusual - in a good way.
