1917 SLQ how did this even grade?

lasvegasteddy

not my coin nor do i know seller
on ebay item #17146288887

it looks clear as day to me this coin was "TOOLED"...so blatant as how did this get graded?

lasvegasteddy

i would think pcgs would flag this cert # to get it back to remove it from this graded holder

That's a pretty common area for a staple scratch as the space between her arm and flag is almost like a gutter on a bowling lane.

still looks tooled to define the draping ribbon from her breast area...to me...ms65...SMH

Here's the tru-view in which the gouge blends quite well but would still be something that would be noticed with a loupe...

lasvegasteddy

perahps a girl grader graded it and wasn't looking at that area like a MAN grader....

well that's a twist looking at the trueview as it hides it better
why the seller isn't using the trueview makes me wonder too

Doesn't want to deal with the return.

since there's no nip, does that make it a type 2?

That's got to be one of the dullest 65's I've ever seen.

i've notified many sellers that their coin(s) had a TV which FAR outweighed their own sorry image(s), yet they often decline to use them.

good thing i've learned in my own age NOT to ask "WHY" people do or do not.

That's the kind of 65 that will land in a collectors collection who's proud to buy all his acquisitions at sheet pricing
