[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 682275, member: 15199"]I suspect this one could have gone either questionable color or altered surfaces or neither.

Is it that they will only list 1 cause, when actually it could be more than 1. I have never seen a multiple listing , and I suspect for their database, it can only be one. I looked at it carefully, as it resembles closely one I sent in and it also had the same coloration, and mine came back as questionable color. I respect PCGS grading, but if I had to guarantee each coin, I would be hesitant to grade "tweeners" also. Jim[/QUOTE]
