But that scratch in left field is horrendous...... edited ETA: Somebody paid somebody off, somewhere along the way...... That's what I reckon. That doesn't look like just a mistake..... That is like the first thing you see...... I could be drunk off my butt and see that scratch. Wow. Even less faith in PCGS now." I don't know what they edited out of your post but IMO, you are WAY OFF BASE and posting more libelous comments.  IMO, this coin should not be straight or "net" graded; however, the fact that it is does not indicate a criminal activity by the TPGS!I think there may be a more mature way to discuss coins without the frivolous "drama" coming from a very young "ex-pert." Santinidollar, posted:  +1 on the cleaning." Here is something to consider for you and the poster you agreed with: At one time I believed every coin I saw with hairlines was improperly cleaned.  As I gained more experience, I realized that was not always the case. [USER=73983]@jtlee321[/USER]  I enjoyed the photo but the scratches on this coin did not come from staples. PS  This is a coin that Heritage should have done something about.  While they can claim innocence it puts their company in a bad light.  I'd like to read the description of this auction lot.[/QUOTE]
