<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Owle, post: 1176093, member: 22004&quot;]Possibly the case here. PCGS put the coin in their MS60 holder (2nd generation) with greater tolerance for such issues then. My guess is that their reasoning then was &quot;this is an UNC coin with problems therefore we will just give it the base mint state grade&quot;.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have seen quite a few certified coins, more likely in ICG holders than PCGS or NGC, with obvious cover-up jobs. The toning is of a violet hue which is not usually naturally occuring. Could be, but likely not. I guess acetone or denatured alcohol are options to remove, or just sent it to NCS and let them do the job. At that point I should get a numerical grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
