AU details, cleaned with an oily rag.
As old Mr. Kent would say, "that coin ain't right."

Why did someone grade this..

Why did someone grade this.. Most likely it was in a group of coins from a collection that all got graded for auction. |

AU straight (I don't think this - the hint makes me believe it is in a straight holder)

"Damaged"? That's an interesting use of that term.

I'm guessing there were so many issues at hand that damaged was the easiest explanation.

Throat, nose, cheek, ears, and fields - I think that all outweighs the bad toning job. TPG's will always use the lead offender. IMO it looks like it spent time in a gravel parking lot beforehand. Apologies for being harsh if this is your coin, but yeah, I think in this instance DAMAGE means scratches, gouges, etc... |
