AU details, cleaned with an oily rag.
As old Mr. Kent would say, "that coin ain't right."

Why did someone grade this..

AU straight (I don't think this - the hint makes me believe it is in a straight holder)

"Damaged"? That's an interesting use of that term.

I'm guessing there were so many issues at hand that damaged was the easiest explanation.

Throat, nose, cheek, ears, and fields - I think that all outweighs the bad toning job. TPG's will always use the lead offender. IMO it looks like it spent time in a gravel parking lot beforehand. Apologies for being harsh if this is your coin, but yeah, I think in this instance DAMAGE means scratches, gouges, etc... |

Who knows how they ultimately rank issues but I imagine they assume the toning effort was to hide the damage. Likewise, I would assume most ATs that were CLEANED would be detailed as cleaned.
