I happen to be the proud owner of this one of a kind example of the BOM3, Walking Liberty 50C. The worst grade to date!
Images are not available yet. I might post them when available just for information purposes.
Anyway, I already have another in route. I'm trying to get the royal flush if you know what I mean.
EDIT: Pics added.

Good start to a BOM lowball set.
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
Yeah, I blew it on this one. Such is life.
Onward till upward!

Yikes, my condolences. Could you not tell on the surfaces before submitting? Not visible by the naked eye?
Is it too late to send it bacK?

Oh, I can literally guarantee you that if I sent mine in in the original mint box/packaging that I received it in, it would come back as questionable color/harshly cleaned, or counterfeit. That has been my luck lately……🥴😬
Remember when MS65 used to be the pinnacle of grading? GEM!
Now, people send their condolences like someone died 😆

"Coin collecting for outcasts..."
Yeah. When I invented MS-67 for the coins better than 65 but less than perfect I knew that we would not be using it much. But back then nobody ever sent modern stuff in for grading.
And it should go to the back of the line.
Those were the days.
I was under the weather during that time and I rushed it, that won't happen again!
Ya live and ya learn. You'd think by age 60 I would have learned by now!

Geez, the coin doesnt look 65. I do see the one nick to the left of the 250 privy, and field distortion, which your picture doesnt show, only pcgs. I hope this wasnt done in their care.
Then there are 2 black specks by the L in liberty. Could be nicks?
I dont see much on the reverse?
The finishes are hard to see in these pics, especially with the matte finish, but maybe these are all directional scratches from someone rubbing with a cloth? Only way to get to 65
My image also does not show the 2 black specks/nicks on the obverse rim and near the third ray.
The coin is being delivered today. I hope to get more insight at that time.

Update: I was supposed to receive the coin in question today via FedEx. They delivered my BOM2 SP70 25C but no BOM3. He said it was supposed to be on his truck and shows out for delivery but he couldn't find it. So now I wait.

I’m seeing hairlines in the obverse fields and friction marks on the ground below the eagle. That’s certainly unlucky and unfortunate if it was received from the Mint in that condition.
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.
It definitely came from the mint that way, assuming it is the coin I submitted.
