<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Blissskr, post: 2671125, member: 34882&quot;]If I was grading by the book or I was buying this coin I wouldn&#039;t have gone higher than AU58.&nbsp; The large diamond on the reverse has a wear spot along with the lower bar in the star on the obverse. My thoughts are the coin received TPG bump into MS for color and because the toning is preventing a true examination of the surfaces.</p><p><br /></p><p>I mean anyone with a grading guide should be able to see what Doug is referring too. Below is a grading guide photo showing exactly where wear first occurs on the highest points of the coin. Then compare that to the OP coin and again according to the guide a coin with any trace of wear shouldn&#039;t be graded higher than AU but we all know or should know that TPG&#039;s flex their own grading standards all the time.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]594791[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
