Sleak we were only high if you choose to believe the plastic .
from the pics I see nothing that indicated cleaning ,,at least not abrasively,, now perhaps they believe that the coin had been improperly dipped at the time of slabbing ,,that is something that is very hard if not next to impossible to detect in most pictures .
Personally this coin is just another reason not to have any of my coins slabbed .
I still stand with my first post. I think this is easy MS64, and the only thing I can think of is what Metalman stated. Maybe they could tell it was dipped. I think your photos are fine to actually see major dings and chatter etc for a relatively close grade, and at MS60 I think they are out of their mind. I don't have the census reports handy, but I'd be curious how many of these were graded around 64 and 65 and what the approximate value would be. I'd almost be tempted to crack it out and pay the $18 just for curiosity sake at PCGS or NGC....
I would say easy MS-64. Looks nice. I might break it out if you don't agree with the grade. You are the only one who can really say for sure on the grade.
I sure don't see any signs of cleaning, but then again I am formulating my opinion from a couple of pictures and have not held the coin in hand under magnification like the graders did. I would have guessed ms64 from the pics.
