<p>[QUOTE="coinman23, post: 1405305, member: 35973"]I am just wondering what others thoughts were on this coin in terms of the so called "altered surfaces". Personally, I strongly disagree so I have already cracked it out and submitted it to NGC but haven't received it back yet. I have looked at hundreds of pictures of this coin on Heritage and actually discovered that PCGS does not have a single G$1 coin with an MS PL grade but NGC had over 180 on their website. Would PCGS slap an "altered surfaces" grade on the coin just because they don't recognize this PL variety? Either way I saw several coins that appeared to have much less genuine looking surfaces in my opinion. Let me know what you all think as I am very curious. The pictures might me tough to tell and I'm not sure how to make them larger.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]169669.vB[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]169670.vB[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH]169671.vB[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
