<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2337184, member: 24314&quot;]My point is this.&nbsp; There is an unusual cut under the breast.&nbsp; It is a cut where the normal design should be.&nbsp; It is not a hit.&nbsp; The tiny little mark at the right end of the cut MAY be a hit which would LOOK LIKE an engraving &quot;slip-up&quot; IF the breast is indeed altered. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It LOOKS LIKE the TPGS may have missed something. That is what the OP said and he may be correct.&nbsp; Gun to my head...He&#039;s correct.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As to cleaning.&nbsp; IMO ALL you guys need to talk/take instruction from a current TPG.&nbsp; A majority of you are too strict with scratches,&nbsp; hairlines, rim dings, and cleaning.&nbsp; THAT&#039;S OK.&nbsp; My standards are more strict than any of you.&nbsp; Nevertheless, the TPGS play in the market-acceptable world.&nbsp; When I post, I try to present a TPGS side from only my experience.&nbsp; I don&#039;t expect anyone to agree.&nbsp; You can lead a horse...</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>However, and this is very important.&nbsp; In the case of the op&#039;s coin. Both PCGS and myself agree straight grade all day, every day!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Now, If I had the coin under my scope, I could tell you in one second (OK, 3 if it is a good job) if the breast was tooled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
