<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gmarguli, post: 1361564, member: 246&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t call the haze heavy. It appears to be light on the obverse and light-to-medium on the reverse. Given that the coin is graded DCAM and the TPG resist giving the DCAM designation to coins with haze obscuring the frosted devices, I assume it did haze up in the holder. The &quot;shish-ka-bob skewer going through the guy&#039;s beard&quot; is nothing more than a break in the haze. It&#039;s not surface damage. No different than a streak in the toning. Most likely there was something on the surfaces (light oils for handling it) that caused the haze not to appear there.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also doubt that NEN would put this coin in their inventory if it were that grossly overgraded. If it&#039;s there, I&#039;ll take a look at the coin at the Long Beach show this weekend.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
