1926 Sesquicentennial Half Dollar - GTG

I found this one for sale and I'm wondering what you all think the PCGS slabbed grade is (or should be).

Thanks in advance!

"Details"?

 

It looks like it has been cleaned to me.

 

XF......

 

AU Details cleaned

 

Ditto !

 

You all may not believe this...

maybe the weekend started a day earlier for the grader.

 

Nice coin. The first images really made the hairlines stand out. I missed the grade by a mile.

 

I should be so lucky, it sure looks cleaned or wiped.
There was a time when dealers would take out their hankie and wipe coins...you know to make it shine better.

Uh, WHAT did they grade it?!

Wow. The guy who graded that would also ask you how to spell "A-N-A" while he's looking to buy the grading book on Amazon.com.

 

It does have luster , and if it's one thing I learned the tpgs love luster .

 

Maybe most of that 'wear' I was detecting was on the holder.......

 

That's what I was thinking when I 1st looked at the pics , but if you look at the slab where the coin doesn't show the slab looks pretty clean .

 

Crappy strike, dirty look, pictures that make it look as bad as possible, 62 seems about right.
