<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2768463, member: 73983"]Your analysis mirrors how mine would have been. The holder is a PCGS rattler and one of the loosest I've ever come across.

The black spot near her temple thankfully is some sort of debris that was left on the coin an not a carbon spot. The cheek is very clean and the fields have most of the contact marks. Both the obverse and reverse have very flashy fields with decent mirroring, which is why I jumped on it. But in my opinion in hand it falls just short of a true PL, which surprises me that it did not get the designation back in the day.
