This coin mystified me when I saw it. First impression was cleaned, then after some close study I thought problem free but an improperly mixed alloy. Then after more study I considered it could be a lamination error... or both! In any case, I personally graded it AU55 or AU58 but had no idea if an improperly mixed alloy coin could be considered RB (red brown). So I sent it in and this was the result. I honestly didn&#039;t care about what grade it would receive, but submitted it out of curiosity. So I think after it all, PCGS liked the coin and remaining luster (even though improperly mixed alloy coins seem to have a much different luster than coins properly mixed).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
