<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 3870259, member: 15309&quot;]Based on the marks on Monticello, the coin should be MS66 and that was the grade I was expecting.&nbsp; That said, I have no idea what they did to remove what the called “residue” but now that they have, the luster is phenomenal, near the best I’ve ever seen on a War Nickel.&nbsp; It seems obvious that they rewarded the luster and overall presence of the coin while overlooking the reverse marks that would normally relegate the coin to MS66 grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>I’m having trouble locating decent photos of my current registry coin and might have to take new photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the gasket, I sometimes use gaskets from crackouts as temporary protective devices during my photography process.&nbsp; This coin was never graded by PCGS.&nbsp; I got it raw as a freebie, put it in an album for a decade, and submitted it to NGC last month.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
