when you have something like this with a cleaning and color alteration (lets just say confirmed alteration), how do they make the decision on which gets tagged?

obviously is difficult to say what a TPG would do since they are not 100% accurate especially today it seems they are missing quite a bit. I'm thinking they may have had challenges finding graders just like any other business today so some of them may not be well versed in all aspects of all the series.
my thought on your question is that the "cleaned" is more a generic term used to cover multiple types of cleaning. color alteration is most definitely very specific. I think they would call the more specific issue when assigning a designation...thats if they catch it. keep in mind that they grade thousands of coins and only take a couple minutes looking at a coin. it probably comes down to who is looking at it. if the initial grader calls it cleaned most likely the second look grader will just agree and assign that designation
