PR-65 due to the hairlines on the reverse.

This one came back from PCGS with Details, altered surfaces, and they still haven't released the trueview for some reason.

You ain't kidding Coinfrog, looks like it is time to switch to NGC for all of my grading, PCGS is just being rediculous on some of these coins.

With respect, I ask - do you think that venturing beyond your field of expertise (small cents) may have contributed to mis-judging some of these coins because of your lack of experience?

Quite possibly Coinfrog, hard to learn till you hold a bunch of them though sadly. The 1828 half dollar seriously boggles me what they are seeing as damage though. And from the definition of altered surfaces, something was added to this coin to hide imperfections, which I did not see any evidence of.

Stunning IMO; that one has been tucked away for some time.

KY, do you have any idea why PCGS gave the coin altered surfaces? The reverse looks like it may have been lightly wiped because of the hairlines. If you do decide to send the coin to NGC for a second opinion, please keep us informed.

There are some hairlines in front of the bust..not sure why altered surfaces vs cleaned though.
