In a nutshell - improper storage. The green could be a couple of things. It might be PVC residue from PVC flips. Pretty much ever dealer there...
Not really changed a bit, more of being more specific because my comments back then were too general and because of that could be interpreted...
Well, rather obviously PCGS didn't think the coin was harshly cleaned. No big surprise there really. Certainly not the first time I've disagreed...
To give you an idea of ACG's grading - that Morgan shouldn't even be in a slab. Not with that big scratch across the cheek. The coin is damaged,...

Build me a section and I'll see to it that one of his threads get's posted every week.
My warning regarding the rules of this forum apply to everybody ! So enough with the innuendo and risque comments.
Do you have any idea who SGS is ? It's a grading company, a "so called" grading company. Nobody could ever submit coins to them for grading...
Any soap is always a bad idea, you can't get the stuff off the coin. Soap always, always leaves residue on the coin. And there is absolutely...
