<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 1578771, member: 24091&quot;]Okay, just to keep the thread on-track, include only ANACS, NGC and PCGS slabs.&nbsp; We all know the others tend to be laughable, so no point wasting space here on it.&nbsp; Please include what you think the grade should have been.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my nomination.&nbsp; In addition to horrible looking fog and tone, there are also significant scratches on the coin visible with minimal magnification.&nbsp; Not sure how this could have possibly made it through quality control unless most of the tone developed in the holder after slabbing.&nbsp; Now I understand there is this whole concept of technical grading that says a coin, even if it looks like it was fished from a tar pit, should be graded based on the absence of marks or wear.&nbsp; But lets face it, especially on modern coins, if the coins doesn&#039;t look as struck it doesn&#039;t belong in an MS69 holder.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>In my case, I would say an MS64 would have been quite generous, even if the coin were white.&nbsp; I say that based on scratches on the obverse of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]217694.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]217695.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
