Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6503 Posts	Posted 01/02/2024 5:14 pm https://www.pcgs.com/cert/45038378 I don't want to be mean and trash somebody's coin. But honestly, how can this Kennedy proof possibly be a PR67? Isn't that haze and discoloration some kind of permanent PVC damage and staining? What I really want to understand is where the line falls on this stuff with TPGs. I know it hurts eye appeal, buy the coin not the slab, et cetera. I thought at some point this kind of issue would kick a coin into details grade, particularly a proof coin which is supposed to be pristine. What am I not understanding correctly here?

sickpuppy78501 Pillar of the Community United States 599 Posts	Posted 01/04/2024 1:56 pm Well, I know that proofs are struck on specially made planchets. So I think the grade of 67 actually refers to to how well the coin was struck. Any discoloration on proof coins is probably seen as natural toning. Report this Post to the Staff
