I am struggling to see ways in which this coin is several grades below this one that earned an MS64 from PCGS based on condition/wear. But I don't know how the TPGs take things like carbon spots into account. WIthout that, I would give it a grade in the low MS range rather than AU https://www.coinarchives.com/w/lotv...c601bca7ced0
Normally a carbon spot on the portrait would detract for me, too, but I just happen to have an age spot pretty much at that exact location, so I just might ignore it in this case.
Thanks tdziemia, hard for us to avoid those age spots. I bought this one for 1/4 of what I've seen slabbed MS coins going for so that spot was discounted for handsomely. It came from a dealer in Europe.
