MS65?

No distracting marks? Can you say "please dip me"? Or something.
Personally, I'd like a bit more eye appeal in my MS65's. I presume PCGS's
"market grading" didn't apply here.

Probably dipped and improperly rinsed then turned after slabbing.

It seems to me that this type of mottled toning is typical of coins that
were once dipped and are retoning.

On the other hand, this type of toning, while it looks terrible in a
picture, can be breathtaking when seen in person. I purchased a 1943
Canadian quarter on EBay that looked terrible in the picture but incredibly
beautiful when I saw it in person. Pictures often don't tell the whole
story.

But, maybe without the toning it was a 67. If so, then "market grading" did
apply.

Now that's thinking outside the slab!

That's actually old original toning which some collectors like.
Dipped coins that are improperly
rinsed retone looking like they have coffee stains.

I don't believe that toning is "original". We all know what an original
silver coin looks like. It's what happens during its life time that affects
how a coin will look fifty years hence. It's like claiming that a foxed
early document has "original toning". THIS particular coin looks like it
was exposed sequentially to settled fly ash, morning dew, and the noonday
sun. Makes for a colorful story, but a butt-ugly coin. Hard to imagine any
collector seeking coins that look like that with the intention of displaying
them that way.
