Hi,
Here's a coin I sent out earlier this year. What do y'all think PCGS gave this coin?

    45, though the halos around the stars give me pause to think it may not have straight graded.

    Looks like I am in a part of the majority ... it seemed to say 53 to me

    Alt surfaces or 53 I could see it getting both grades depending on the day

    PCGS gave this this one a XF45. Upon submission - I believed it would get AU50 with a shot at 53 because of the strong details. I guess they decided to net it to a 45 because of the old dip and retoning.

    It does have nice details! You are probably right, they dropped it to 45 for lack of luster.

    As usual PCGS got it right and gave it the best grade they could under the circumstances.
