<p>[QUOTE="silv, post: 1753085, member: 47749"]Recently purchased an MS-66 of this coin and immediately noticed some luster impairment when it arrived... looks like someone used acetone/q-tip to clean spots, or maybe oily finger rub marks. Because the marks were in the center of coin near the error leaf I wasn't too happy. The main spot is above and to the left of the error leaf, adjacent to the large normal leaf. There is another, lighter spot to the left of that one, near the cow eye.</p><p> </p><p>[ATTACH=full]276051[/ATTACH]</p><p> </p><p>But the attached photo is from PCGS! <a href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/814033?redir=t" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/814033?redir=t" rel="nofollow">http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/814033?redir=t</a></p><p> </p><p>So of course it turns out that all the low leafs have these luster anomalies, which is probably common knowledge to some here, but I couldn't find anything online about this.
