I'd like to know how this coin made it to MS67 with what appears to be a
GASH on the reverse!

I'd like to know how the PCGS graders said the 1933 Saint was an MS65 with a
gouge on Liberty's leg the size of the Grand Canyon..

MS67 doesn't mean perfect.

I remember this thread from a year or two ago myself, I said the same
thing it shoulda graded MS62 or so, but seeing that it is "UNIQUE" it
is granted the lofty grade........I would love to see PCGS or NGC grow
the balls to slab that sucker a 65, I would lose a little respect for
them...........

I was in on that thread and I felt the 1933 was overgraded as well. But that
coin is basically immaculate except for that hit and in person that hit doesn't
draw your eye like it does in the photos. If I was the grader, I STILL wouldn't
give it a 65...but I'd have no problems with a 64*.

Nothing significant that I can recall. Unlike most of Farouk's coins, that one
had never been cleaned.
