The coin is 100% not original.&nbsp; <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 0)">It is NOT polished</span>. I see hairlines but nothing major. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> It is a coin I would not even look at because it is an &quot;across the room &quot;technical&quot; AU.</span>&nbsp; Now the TPGS needs to show why we use them.&nbsp; They need to be fair to the coin, the customer, and the next owner... no telling how knowledgeable either owner/buyer are.&nbsp; So the TPGS must set a value on the coin by the grade they assign.</p><p><br /></p><p>It is my <b>guess</b> <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie30" alt=":bucktooth:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> that ICG and PCGS graded it MS and NGC graded it AU.&nbsp; There is a very good chance that each TPGS detailed it.</p><p><br /></p><p>THIS IS WHY EACH OF US NEEDS TO BE ABLE TO GRADE COINS BY OUR OWN STANDARDS...a slab label is just an EDUCATED GUIDE.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p><b>Insider posted previously</b>: <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">&quot;What is the number on the ICG label?&nbsp; That may tell when the coin was <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie10" alt=":oops:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> OVERGRADED!&quot;&nbsp; </span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><b>Insider posted previously</b>: &quot;<b><i><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">IMO, MS-64 is STUPID! </span></i></b> <span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">This is one of the worst examples of overgrading I have seen from ICG.&nbsp; I&#039;ll defend all the major TPGS when they deserve it and even SEGS but this has me stumped.&nbsp; At least they got the attribution correct.&quot;&nbsp; <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Note that I asked the OP to send me the number on the label so I can check it out. I believe in &quot;trust&quot; but verify.&nbsp; I do know for sure that I never graded that coin MS-64.&nbsp;&nbsp; </span></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
