<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 13000821, member: 78719&quot;]I bought this coin many years ago raw at a Stack&#039;s auction, and finally had it graded a few years ago. So I took a couple of pictures and then looked at them and the coin again as it was puzzling as you may see:</p><p><br /></p><p>I took one picture:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528962[/ATTACH]</p><p>Looks like a couple of very unfortunate scratches, so took another:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528966[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528968[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Still there! But just didn&#039;t seem right from either PCGS pictures or from mine, so here is the obverse from them and then a couple from me:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528970[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1528971[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1528972[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>The PCGS photo is pretty much as it looks in hand, so maybe scratches in the plastic as when I turned the coin around in different light and angles I could not make out any scratches at all. In fact I was surprised at the grade they gave, GTG if you&#039;d like as I did not agree naturally enough. I bought the coin because of the very original toning that I believe is from the elaborate holder that the whole set came in (I don&#039;t have the case), and the fact that it had the wonderful toning and relatively mark free - also the price in those days was criminally low, since corrected and maybe overly so.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
