Yeah, there is a little bit of corrosion starting in the memorial on the reverse, but the coin looks good other than that. I will be submitting to PCGS restoration as they say on their website that they can address that corrosion and then regrade.
Quote: Looks like PCGS graded Unc Details. How else you you grade a coin with exposed zinc and blotchy toning due to some kind of liquid exposure?
You can still submit it again to PCGS. Just take it out of the holder. Might receive a different grade. Usually you won't get the same grader. One PCGS grader might give it a MS61, another might give it Unc Details. I personally like the toning myself, but that's just me. I've seen far more blotchy toning get a straight grade.
I disagree heavily. Putting a coin in a holder, with a solidified grade, will make it much easier to sell, and will increase it's value. You'll learn that eventually if you ever try to sell raw coins, and coins in holders.
I'm not saying they don't sell for more in their little coffins, but if you are resubmitting coins and they are consistently giving you different graders, I most certainly wouldn't call it a solidified grade. In fact since you agree the grading can change, it seems to me that you agree TPG's are arbitrary, and if the grades are arbitrary, you are submitting them just for the plastic.
Sometimes you get a grade that is lower than what another would give it. Simple as that. Grading is an opinion. There is no perfect grade. It isn't math where everything has a defined unit and number, and equals something perfectly. Just like taste, each person has their own sense of what tastes good, and what doesn't. It's just business pal, learn the system.
Interesting. Nevertheless, I'm sure there are quite a lot of modern coin graders, so the chance of it getting graded by those two again, is low. This is from second hand experience.

Wow. From here your coin looks a lot better than the $450 one. That reverse is falling/rotting away.
