I'll say 61FH nice one although those carbon spots are a killer can't guess PL without seeing it in person.
From the photos I will guess 62FH. Hard to determine the amount of chatter. I agree that it is too bad all that carbon spotting is present (and unfortunate where it is appearing).
Why does the poll have two choices for MS60? I couldn't decide between them Probably 61 or 62 anyway. Nice coin BTW
Here is some advice. I would leave that coin in the holder. The spots are obvious enough to possibly get an “environmental damage” if it were to be re-graded.

Is this something I should be doing?[/QUOTE] It's common to find faked slabs that use correct codes. A forger just has to search auctions or listings to find a coin that will match what they're faking. And, once fakes are made, the original coin often ends up getting red flagged too. Whenever I post my slabs, I obscure the code to avoid getting tangled up in that.
Well, I certainly wasn't planning on crossing it over or anything. I think the grade is accurate. And I was able to buy it at an AU55 price point. I am curious about what could have caused those spots though. Chemical exposure from a mint bag with a little sulphur on the burlap? Or someone coughing/sneezing on the coin during the Spanish Flu pandemic? I'm choosing to think of the latter & adding a layer of story to it.
Blast white is still my preferred standard for coins, but if I'm only looking for a high grade piece at a good price, I don't mind some unsightly discoloration.
