<p>[QUOTE=&quot;john41, post: 2254967, member: 56428&quot;]Hey Lucky,</p><p>&nbsp; I left you a PM about some things to do. One thing you could do is ask for a review/reconsideration of the coin. Did you cause the damage, if so that is why it got the damaged designation because the damage is new. If you did not cause the damage the other thing you could do is soak the coin in acetone. This will not hurt the surface skin of the coin, it will not remove any of the toning/tarnish and is not going to cause problems with the sniffer. The price difference from a gen to straight grade can be significant. For this coin it will be less so due to it&#039;s rarity. If sending this coin to another TPG that will ignore the damage changes things that TPG would most likely carry a lower price and the buyer when seeing the coin in hand may not be too happy. This is a coin that should you decide to sell it should go to Great Collections or Heritage so they can market it for you. You can also send the coin to Ian Russel and have him look the coin over and tell you what he thinks, if he feels it should straight grade he will send it back to PCGS for you. This coin deserves the PCGS plastic especially the new holders as they are strong and very easy to image. If you have any questions for me feel free to PM me. here or at CU. </p><p>&nbsp; Thanks for your time, John.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
