Plating unless the mint does it on Copper plated cents, ruins the the value for a coin. It turns it back into circulated change. If you submitted this to PCGS, they would collect their fees and body bag the coin in a holder that would have not grade and marked as genuine. So you would spend about $50+ to find out it was not an original surface. So we tell you you what it is, for free. People alter coins all the time thinking they can create a mint error. When they fail, they spend it and someone finds it and the whole thing starts over again.
