<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rlm&#039;s cents, post: 1685601, member: 7957&quot;]This coin has a lot going on, but one of them is not wear.&nbsp; I see no evidence of wear.&nbsp; The obverse color really looks like it has been cleaned, but it has luster.&nbsp; I can explain that because of the improper composition.&nbsp; The black spots on the shoulder are the result of the alloy mix also or at least they tend to follow the grain like an alloy mix.&nbsp; The strike on the reverse is nice, but the obverse leaves a bit to be desired.&nbsp; This should not affect the grade at this level.&nbsp; Oh, and that mark on the forehead is a scratch, but very hard to see in hand.&nbsp; Put all of this together with the wood grain and I am really surprised PCGS even graded it.&nbsp; I guess if all my assumptions are correct, it is a gradable coin and PCGS&#039;s 62 is certainly reasonable knowing their dislike of color variations.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]253583.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
