    ANACS always put a numerical number grade along with detailed problem on slab …. IMO ANACS was and still is most toughest on cleaned coins I see tons and tons of ANACS coins detailed cleaned while PCGS and NGC will let some slide and straight grade … cleaned coins usually don’t sell very well , unless they are a key date or scarce coin they will exchange and sell …. Sadly there’s a lot cleaned coins out there which is very very common and PCGS alone detected like 16,000+ of them within last 30 days of grading out of 259,000 coins they graded in last 30 days 

    If these numbers are close than PCGS and NGC on an average grade over 1000 coins an hour. That must be a tough environment to work in and meet a quota.

    I think the skin is more in focus than the coin. I do not think this coin is a good example for grading. But if you have money to spend it is your choice.

    So, there are "tons" of these on the market.  Many in a state of virtual perfection!  Is that right? Granted, it's been thirty long years since this coin was minted and made its debut.  Here's what I'll do:  I will challenge anyone to post their coin, certified or not, on @Mike Meenderink 's "Show me your lowballs" thread. I will allow Mike to be the Final Arbiter. I will limit my input to declaring a $100 Reward, open-ended, with no expiration date, to the first person who posts this ultra-rare coin which ought not to be difficult considering thousands, nay, tens of thousands, tons! were minted and distributed. Forget PF70DCAM. There are apparently plenty of those around. Let's have another look at the lower end. Then we'll all gather around, sit back and debate rarity or scarcity to everyone's heart's content. Fair enough? Do I have any takers? Don't be shy, speak up!!!

    I think the point of the matter Jason and many others will say is. Yes, it is a low mintage valuable coin. But try to sell it for the quoted value and you will see many others for a lower sale price. That is what kills its rarity.

    Good find. Hard to come by in the wild.

    Looks like there is a bit of split plating above the letters.

    Yes this coin is not the cream of the crop for sure, But still a fun find. A 99 would be nice to find that would finish off my WAM collection. As you can see the 99 is a bit harder to find.
