[QUOTE="Troodon, post: 1585333, member: 4626"]I think it only deserves 63 at best but I've seen several in this condition that PCGS gave 65, so I'm guessing that's what it got (this is probably one of the ones they were handing out for free to promote their registry service, and almost all graded 65, with a small handful of outliers that made 64 or 66). I think PCGS graded these very sloppily, maybe because they were giving them out free anyway. Though one would think if the whole idea behind giving these away was to promote their services, if anything they should be [I]more[/I] exacting in their grading, not less. These can't make them look good. But hey, I got a free coin out of it. Granted in the shape it's in it's probably worth exactly 25 cents, but I paid 0 for it, so that's a profit of 25 cents. Might keep it in my collection just for the sake of having a souvenir. Or something to show people as a rebuttal for when they want to claim how exacting PCGS's standards are lol... Or maybe it just shows when you get a free service, you get exactly what you pay for.[/QUOTE]
