<p>[QUOTE=&quot;johnmilton, post: 8311103, member: 101855&quot;]This might have something to do with the fact that NGC and PCGS have been burned with counterfeit coins that had altered surfaces. If you can scrap off some or all of the features that make it easier to note that a piece is a counterfeit, it&#039;s something that dishonest people are going to do.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the OP coin, it appears that it probably had some corrosion on the obverse that was removed. The term some people is &quot;tooling.&quot; The coin also might have a planchet crack at 11:30 on the obverse and 6:00 on the reverse.</p><p><br /></p><p>Here is a no problem example of this piece.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1471199[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
