<p>[QUOTE="Bayern, post: 3528596, member: 99002"]The area in question was a small section that ran in a straight line across, and just above the date line (of course on both obverse and reverse, as it was a water line stain~ and this was due to the coin having been stored in a box with other PCGS slabbed coins that had the misfortune of going through a flood). The original PCGS grade for the coin was a straight grade, and if recall correctly, EF-45. But when the coin came back after conservation, in the new holder, it still had the straight grade, and the ONLY area with the severe hairlines was the area that had had the slight water staining. Many experienced people looked at the before and after pictures, and all came to the conclusion that these hairlines were not there in the before pic. (Also, we were viewing the pics on a high resolution, jumbo monitor- so we were looking at excellent images). I will try getting in touch with the person that had the pics, to see if he still has them, and if so, would not mind sharing them here.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
