Thanks for the bigger pic. I see the hairlines...

..but I don't know why they would not put a grade on it..
Some other TGP's would probably put a fair grade on it..

It does look very nice in the smaller format pic..

Yes.. It looks like EF40 at least, I don't know why they wouldn't put a 'details' tag on it?

EF-45 easy, toning is certainly questionable, and the hairlines don't help either. My guess is, this coin was cleaned and then someone tried to hide the cleaning under artificial toning, by the looks of it, some sort of rapid sulfur toning, likely from a boiled egg.

PCGS probably gave it a AU Details.

PCGS will assign a numeric code to problem coins.In this case a 92
which indicates an improperly cleaned coin.
NGC will assign a details grade with an explanation to a problem coin.
In both cases neither PCGS or NGC will attribute a problem coin with a
numeric grade.
If you want a problem coin to receive a numeric grade and an explanation
you will have to send it to ICCS.
PCGS and NGC have very accessable web sites explaining their grading methods.
