It looks DMPL to me  You have to remember that the graders of these TPGs surf these coin boards, so...

Also, if you sent the coin in using the economy or discount/free submission process it might not get the attention it deserves.
I seriously doubt the 'Presedential Review' advertised is actually accomplished by Hall himself, probably just a marketing gimick.

Don't be so *!@#&*$ sensitive.
Really, if they are vengful or litigatous over this message board could they REALLY survive. Their business ***depends*** on open public critism, otherwise their product has NO VALUE. Without a public critique, they can't establish in the public eye a reliable unbias evaluation of their product. Remember, they don't sell coins, they sell public trust. If they don't hold their own under valid critism, then they're entire livelihood is flushed down the toilet.
That being said, send it back. I think they errored. As for the scratch, ask them were. Since when does a scratch cause a body bag?

I think it should have gotten PL or maybe DMPL.

I still think your coin is DMPL, but I'm not a pro grader... Have you considered ANACS or NGC?

Zane, I have heard that PCGS is currently extremely tight with the PL, DMPL, CAM, and DCAM designations. It could also be a "Mechanical Error."
