It has been Result: 2 days, 1 hour, 5 minutes and 47 seconds since I posted this coin, so I am now closing it out.
CCF members disagreed with PCGS by quite a bit on this one.
PCGS MS 64 RD
CAC agrees with PCGS
I have never seen PCGS discount a grade due to carbon spots on a mint state Lincoln; I have only seen PCGS lower grades on Proofs when a bad carbon spot is present (or was partially removed).
Overall, because of the carbon "haze" I can see why, under the current lighting, this one appears RB.
Myself, I would not purchase this one due to the carbon. However, I think it might be possible for a "surface doctor" to conserve this one to more money\a higher grade.
