Typical look for a Proof that was cleaned at one time with silver polish and a polish rag. Also similar to how silver surfaces look when a pencil eraser is used on them. Completely agree with the grade PCGS gave it.

I figured she would get a lot more interest than this

This would be a good "buy it now" listing because there aren't too many people actively searching and purchasing ugly proof coins. The right person may not come around by the time the auction is closed.

I can think of no better explanation than the one you provided. Occam's razor deftly applied.

Do you mean this is what PCGS meant by "tooled"?
