<p>[QUOTE="Insider, post: 2297500, member: 24314"]I looked at the 78-CC in the GSA holder. Only thing suspicious is the stain at 5 O'clock and around the date. Reverse has stain around "dollar." Otherwise the coin looks OK but color under hair looks like chemical residue. Easy call if we could see the coin in hand to see what TPG saw. Even moisture could have developed over all those years and "dripped" on to surface - then evaporated. Or even dirty, greasy, pair of white gloves could have left the residue. Note that it does not come into contact with the surface next to the relief. Original poster should tip and rotate coin under light to take photos in different orientations.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
