GTG 1916 Lincoln The Blue One

I'm trying to put together a nice birth year set for 1916 since that was the year my mother was born. Why wasn't she born a year earlier or later!

The rev is not as outstanding as the obverse. Maybe under graded a point. On the old questionable color slab, is it because of the bluish toning and they "assumed" it was AT? Not a chemist, but I am sure there are certain gases (or chemical elements) that would react with copper and create that color naturally.
After all it straight graded. If someone doesn't know enough about chemistry, how can they possibly be expert enough to deny a grade to a coin with questionable color out of their own ignorance? There was no one else at the grading company who could have made an educated guess about the toning? And then, it costs more money to get it graded again. What a racket.

 

I am glad it got a clean grade, it's definitely deserved.
