<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 961823, member: 112&quot;]To answer your question - they can do it because they do not follow the ANA standards.

John Reich&#039;s Clasic Head design had relief not seen since the high-relief varieties of the Liberty Cap cents, with detail shown down to the lowest grades. The bust is almost always boldly outlined, and the obverse rim is usually bold. The leaves will be worn into each other and have little detail, though the wreath is usually well outlined. Rverse rims may be incomplete, causing slight weakness to the upper parts of the lettering.</i></p><p><br /></p><p>Now there is no detail whatsoever in the hair and the obverse rim is not even complete let alone bold. So this coin in no way meets the given PCGS standards either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
