Marv65 Bedrock of the Community United States 10470 Posts	Posted 07/25/2025 8:24 pm Does this really look like a 66+ from PCGS? Obverse has a long hit across the crown "spikes". And reverse has a hit/scrape that is circled and also a line of damage. Report this Post to the Staff

It looks 3-dimensional to me, like a delamination that occurred after the toning. Or am I crazy ('cause that makes it PMD right?). Report this Post to the Staff
