<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 7147714, member: 37839&quot;]Ok, the reveal.&nbsp; It is straight graded.&nbsp; Obviously, it was dipped.&nbsp; However, I am kind of baffled by this grade.&nbsp; I will continue&nbsp; my comments below the reveal image:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1274509[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The AU 50 seems, to me, like an off the wall grade.&nbsp; We acknowledge it was dipped.&nbsp; However, PCGS would not have straight-graded the coin if they thought it was cleaned, or buffed.&nbsp; The coin definitely has MS level detail to it—when compared to the MS 61 photograde, this coin comes off much sharper in surfaces, and has as much luster as a low grade MS coin.&nbsp; I can definitely see it as a high grade AU coin—I would personally have gone AU 58 with it. I agree with the majority, putting it as AU 55-58.&nbsp;&nbsp; But AU 50???&nbsp; That grade makes absolutely no sense to me.&nbsp; The only thing I can think is PCGS felt it necessary to punish the coin for an excessively heavy dip?&nbsp;&nbsp; Makes no sense.&nbsp; This coin takes a big value jump from low AU to high AU.&nbsp; Totally, an illogical grade.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
