    The funny part is that it is worth the same amount of point in the registry as a graded example in that range

    I don't think it's all that strange. They've always maintained damage [vs cleaning] is what prevents a straight grade, but does not make it impossible to do a rough grade. if you can distinguish AU from mint state... it's not a big leap to distinguish fair from poor from from good.

    Never seen a split grade on a PCGS holder. Obverse and reverse look worn to the same degree so it's not like they are calling the obverse Poor and the reverse Fair. Guess it's a 1.5?

    Same here. I think a case could be made that a coin that heavily worn could straight grade despite some "damage" like that bend.

    I've seen it on a couple coins (including the one in question). As some one looking to see how PCGS grades lowballs it is annoying as they don't actually make a decision on the technical grade.
