A PCGS MS66RD IH gone bad?

Heritage describes this 1903 PCGS MS66RD as such: "Booming luster sweeps this mark-free pumpkin-gold example. A few pinpoint obverse flecks are noted near 3 o'clock, and a vertical apple-green streak reaches the N in CENT."
The "few" pinpoint obverse flecks deserve a biopsy.
The "vertical apple-green streak" looks like gangrene.
Yuck

My daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 2 (2003). My son was diagnosed with Type 1 when he was 17 on December 31, 2009. We were stunned that another child of ours had been diagnosed. Please, if you don't have a favorite charity, consider giving to the JDRF (Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation)

2 Questions: How did that coin make it in a 66 holder and I need to question the RD part as well. As a Indian cent man I'm disgusted with that coin.
2) Why does the coin have what appear to be luster breaks / changes in luster above the eye, on the hair below ER, below the ear, and on the upper cheekbone below the eye? Is this BN coloration? If so, the coin S/B in a RB, not RD holder. If not, the coin's a slider.
3) Either that's one huge toning spot on the reverse, or someone took a dump on the coin & let it stay for on it for decades..
4) What is that line that comes from the rim @ 9:30 and goes at a 30% angle to just in front of LIBERTY? It appears to be from the die, rather than a scratch, but I'd like this to be clarified.
To me, this is an unattractive 4 RB.

And yes, Heritage has no problem with selling coins like this. IH inventory is thin between major sales.
Take a look at some of the NGC coins they're selling in the Long Beach sale.

Yes, the person that played with it likely didn't bother to neutralize the coin after they "improved" it. Coins that haven't been neutralized with water/alcohol, acetone, or whatever will often cook in their slabs. I suspect if you look at it from an angle you will likely find areas on the high points that look like dull brass rather than bronze. Very sad.

And my collector friends wonder why I stopped submitting.
A good doctor will often disguise a diagnosis with common bullcrap so a family is eased into the symptoms and problems associated with it. Candy coating...or in this case curating gone bad. As a healthcare provider and rehab director, I dance around the truth to candy coat....or explain the diagnosis to ease thier/families pain. This coin is a bad doctor job for sure.
The power of descriptive words; And in this case a load of BS!
On a more serious note, I had a 66R go bad and PCGS stepped up to the plate and reimbursed me fairly. It's the only red PCGS coin that I've ever had trouble with.
It was a coin that I think Shylock is familiar with.
I suspect the consignor would do better with PCGS than at auction with this dog.
Why not get the "big" coins you're selling on eBay attributed ON THE SLAB by PCGS?
That may have been a tubular lighting experiment gone bad...but if PCGS stepped up to the plate more power to them
