Tricky one. The toning is interesting. I think panzaldi's assessment is accurate.

CAC graded; I'll say: AU55

MS-63. Not a fan of the toning on this one.

Looked like a carbon spot to me.

It's very questionable. Edited by Keith67

Ouch x2 with the cleaning and reverse damage.
It should be a good test for CAC, though.

Could it be a hole... I think so  |

This one clearly suffered from a terrible image. It is my favorite coin of the whole group. As I mentioned above, the coin has blue highlights. What you don't see at all is the glowing luster on this one. It is just fantastic in hand. The mark on the reverse is just toning, not damage (though I agree the image makes it look like it.) This coin was graded CACG MS-64. I am disappointed that this did not get a 65. It seems clear to me that CACG does not value luster like PCGS / NGC. I pointed out the few marks on the obverse, none of them are severe. Probably ownership bias, but this is a premium coin.   |

I'm very surprised CAC gave this coin an MS rating; they are changing to look just like the others...
We need AI to take over very soon!
