    Newbie, bought them off of HSN, harshly cleaned AUs that were so shiny they looked like 65s.
    That's my guess.

    C'mon, now. I feel for this person. I get an image of a guy sitting alone at his cubicle eating a balogne sandwich every day thinking about his coins. I'm bummed his '21 bagged.

    On a more serious note, I have a hard time with Frankies.
    Some of my submissions have come back AU when I thought they were MS.
    Coins with weak strikes, Frankies & Peace dollars fit this description IMO, are tough for newbies.

    Just looks like a newie submission to me.

    I wish the submitter better grades as (s)he continues with the collection.

    Maybe family pieces they wanted protected, could be registry fillers because they had some freebies to use up.
