<p>[QUOTE="eddiespin, post: 573153, member: 4920"]That "greyish" I imagine is the problem people are seeing in this one. It's most apparent on the left-hand obverse, then around the date and IGOT, but it's really there all over that obverse. That's not "patina," but what happens when you remove dirt or other "soft" foreign material that's been sitting on the coin's surface for years (it's the dull "shadowing" left over from that, evidencing something was there). Quite honestly, that might explain why this key isn't in a slab (that is to say, if it ever at one time was). That doesn't bother me. But can't say what the TPGs would make of that, exactly, either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
