    Not near a MS grade. This is a common date and you can find a MS65 with eye appeal for about 1K.

    How is that misleading?

    "PCGS evaluated and certified." gives an impression that it straight graded (i.e., certified), whereas "certified as genuine" would be more accurate if it were not straight-graded.

    Strange that they called it environmental damage….but they had it in hand.

    I personally think it was a dig find.
    Even so, I like Mr_Spud's explanation too.

    The tan outline around the details gave me the idea that it was a metal detecting find, though at the time I thought it was too nice to be one.
