Chances are they felt this one did not circulate as a coin would.

This seems like a joke, how can you grade a blank professionally? and 60 seems wayyy too high for that.

MS-60 Isn't what it used to be? Nope... but then neither am I!  Can't see how a blank silver round can have a grade attached to it, though.  |

My thoughts exactly on why it was graded in the first place.

I have my doubts. It could be a fake blank in a fake slab.
No way of proving that, however.
There is no way of checking the blank for fineness without breaking the slab.
If you do that, it cannot be returned to the seller.

So now I can use my hole saw to cut ounce disks of silver from a sheet send them to a TPG and their value goes up 600%? |

How can something have MS-60 detail if it never had the details in the first place due to never being struck. This is the biggest load of crap from the TPG. I recognise it could be a genuine error but seriously trying to attach a grade to a blank planchet |
