<p>[QUOTE="BadThad, post: 1758063, member: 17261"]It's an original coin, no doubt about it. They just didn't want it in one of their holders. If the graders have <u>any</u> question about a coin like this, it's automatic details. PCGS is the same way. Thank all the early ATers who passed multitudes through the big 3.</p><p> </p><p>For me, personally, I would give a 65. There's virtually no hits and it's well stuck. My only issues are the right field hit and the (apparently) subdued luster. This coin was most definitely album toned. It's a 1910 so it resided on page one, the most exposed page to the elements. Notice how the reverse toning is a stark contrast to the obverse. It had better protection from elements. You can also see the reverse ring toning, it's well defined. I've seen TONS of Raymond Wayte albums with coins just like this. If you think about the way the pages fall together in one of those albums, this coin makes sense.</p><p> </p><p>I don't care what any TPG says, this is a 100% crack out and keep coin for me. Drop it into an aittite and add it to the collection. I like it, I keep it....let a relative sort it out when I'm dead. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
