Yeah grade inflation is totally real generally speaking but in this specific case, I think it's a grader routinely assigning high Sheldon grades no other TPG would for coins exhibiting those condition characteristics.

Any guesses what grade ICCS gave this?
Hint: this is a blatant details coin anywhere else. but not at ICCS.

The image is unfortunately a bit blurry due to holder but it seems to have AU details. Looks like there are a few bag marks or scrapes in field and on effigy as well. IMO, the rim edge is slightly too worn to be MS. Was this coin gently cleaned at one point and a patina slowly redeveloped before it was holdered? Not having in hand is problematic, but if I to guess I'd call this AU-50 (cleaned).
