Never seen a lot of PCI graded early copper... Maybe this explains why?

Strike is certainly an issue
EAC 6024
I would expect a lot more to have been sent in for grading with that kind of potential

PCI gold labels are useless, the coin might as well be raw. The only PCI grades I would even begin to trust are the old 10-digit green labels.

"Keep in mind that most of what passes as numismatic information is no more than tested opinion at best, and marketing blather at worst. However, I try to choose my words carefully, since I know that you guys are always watching." - Joe O'Connor
I have owned some PCI pieces in the past, and overgrading seems to be the trend.

Always buying numismatic literature and sample slabs.
I don’t quite get it. Wouldn’t this coin be at least XF?
Within the margin of subjective error?
I see luster.
No damage.
Educate us on the points that aren’t obvious to non copper collectors.
It does appear to be a very weak strike
I agree but I've also had a PCI AU58 later grade PCGS MS66.

First: IMO PCI Gold Label coins USUALLY SUCK. I don't think they were ever considered to be a "real" TPGS even when they did good work!
Second: I agree with @dogwood
AMEN!
Mr. @Broadstruck
Please educate us as to these points a professional grader would need to consider and please pretend you are an ADVANCED GRADING SEMINAR Instructor and the two of use are your students. Thanks in advance!
