    They probably didn’t miss it. The concept is PCGS graders probably didn’t think it was bad enough to rate a “details” grade. We can disagree with that. PCGS may have seen this as an MS-64 with an “L”. I saw the same thing with a 1798 Bust Dollar that had the sharpness of an AU with two letters lightly scratched into the right field. It was graded EF-45.

    My question is, why did CAC approve of that? Wasn’t CAC created to approve coins that were solid for the grade? :oops:

    CAC approved AU53, likely original surfaces, the grade is right but this picture is the best possible - in hand it is dull, dark gray color.
