    Cannot see it. Probably has either a tiny bit of "cabinet friction" or a TON of hairlines.

    Hairlines are EASY to hide in photos.

    Put it under a halogen lamp. That should reveal if/why its low end.

    The images are essentially worthless with respect to this question, but I suspect there are significant hairlines all over the coin to earn it the PR62 grade.

    I agree with the others so far.

    Probably dipped to death or otherwise cleaned leaving hairlines.

    nice gloves I wear the same. Looks really nice to me. Has it been a while since grading?

    First pictures too far away but like the last picture.

    Thanks for sharing

    Best place to buy !

    It is not possible to offer judgement based on those pictures. Cheers, RickO

    Not dipped 'to death', but definitely dipped a few times.

    The second set of pictures tell this coin is maxed out at PR-62. It been dipped maybe a few times, looks a little dull on the obverse, and has some left over toning that did not come from the piece.

    Over-dipped (dull, dip burned surface) and continuous hairlines.
