What is wrong with this Grant?

I have a raw Grant with some pretty bad die polish lines, but have you ever seen anything like this. Its only $15,000 to boot.

The present example doesn't look to have any bit of originality to it so I do not like it very much.

Dippy de a,
Send it NCS and have a WONDERFUL DAY!
NGC must have looked at the the spot that looks like plain old polishing in front of Grant's face and found it to be die polishing. BUT it sure does not look original to me.
And yes, most original Grants have some amount of toning so this one has almost certainly been dipped.

My thoughts exactly.
