<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 8327309, member: 37839&quot;][USER=22377]@ddddd[/USER]&nbsp;&nbsp; Postscript—that coin, if straight graded, would bring in big money.&nbsp; Collectors bid against themselves to get a piece with that kind of obverse toning.&nbsp; If I thought it looked cleaned, I would never have said 65.&nbsp; I see NO indication of cleaning.&nbsp; I think somebody misgraded it in the first shot.&nbsp; PCGS was reluctant to overturn their own judgement . Nobody bets against themselves in a poker game, and PCGS is cautious.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point, what do you have to lose?&nbsp; Get the cutting pliers, and send it in raw, to NGC.&nbsp; Take the ordinary slow service, and take the chance that it would straight grade.&nbsp; I would be almost certain it gets a 63 or 64 star grade. At worst, I would bet on a net graded coin—as low as 61- 62 or 63 or so, if they thought a light wipe took place.</p><p>Even at that grade, with that kind of beast color, it gets bid big time at Great Collections. You and I have seen less nice coins go for 5 grand, or more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
