I say it would have graded the same grade despite the eye appeal and if it was boosted because of the change, then grading is not the technical science I thought it was. The grade should remain the same with all that tarnish on the coin, too. Or are we grading base on human emotion ?

The dip was wise. The Mint struck enough of these, you can own a dozen each with a different look. There's no right or wrong "look" for a coin. If anything, we can agree on that. But when you're talking business, you need to consider which "look" will yield the greatest profits. DCAM and CAM sells for more than 'purple haze with dirt color.'
So from a sales perspective I say huge improvement.
Can't argue with salesmanship. I concede there. And it's probably just me, but I kind of like that haze on coins. they'll go dark one day if we let them.
I think more of the answers/opinions would've been "let it alone" if he were an R7. When there are numerous examples to go around, we tend to take more risks. Is that wrong? (not directed at anyone just posing a question)
Ditto here - NGC just doesn't cut it with me on cameos. They give the cameo designation and ultracameo designation much easier than PCGS IMHO.
this is a fact past your opinion, Conrad. PCGS holdered coins typically sell for more than same graded NGC coins(you know that) though this example offers incentive to a gambler because of the price jump from 66-67. oh yeah, JMHO.

I thought we were grading under PCGS standards. I would suspect it would not get a DCAM here, that's all. Still a great find from a raw set.
