This is a PERFECT coin graded by PCGS as Burnished SP70. There is slight toning on front and back of the coin that existed when PCGS originally graded the coin as PERFECT MS70. I bought this coin in late 2008 as a MS70 coin and in March 2017 I updated the coin by having PCGS reholder it with their newest SP grading. After they inspected the beautiful toning they retained the PERFECT 70 grade and PCGS determined this coin should now be graded “Burnished SP70″ instead of their previous grade of MS70. In 2015 PCGS made the determination that coins like this one should receive a “Burnished SP” grade to distinguish them from the previous MS grade. Please refer any questions about difference between “SP” and “MS” directly to PCGS. I was told that it would be to my advantage to have my coin reholdered and changed from MS to SP as it should command a higher price. (I have the paperwork). I have kept copy of the original MS70 coin picture just for your information – note the certification number on the MS70 coin is the same as on the SP70 coin – this is how PCGS certifies that the coins are the same. PCGS kept the label showing the MS70, and all I have is the picture proving it was originally graded MS70. Please Note that this is a Special American Flag / FIRST STRIKE coin.
