In passing I heard that some of the upper folks at PCGS have altered coins with lasers giving full heads and full staff bands too some coins then having them certified. Has anyone seen anything solid on this, or is it just garbage?

I'm not aware of the people within PCGS, but we have been discussing their lawsuits here:

I have been told their will be some egg on a few faces of well known Dealer, that roam around the inner circles as it would be. ((((That is 3 hand news, and I do not like using that type.))) As it is more times than not (UN-TRUE) I truly hope it is no more than a rumor!!

I don't see a thing in the article you linked that would suggest PCGS is DOING the doctoring Twohawks. Are you confusing PNG (Professional Numismatists Guild) with PCGS? The author is very much in support of what PCGS is doing and is complaining that some members of PNG are the ones altering the coins.

No PCGS is not involved. I had heard a scuttle-butt that people close to a few at PCGS are involved. I did not wish too start a rumor as I had heard this 3 hand as I stated. I was wondering if any one else had some clarity on this. I do think SuperDave is right someone is talking.

I think where that might come from is that on another forum it was said that one of the named defendants was one of the co-founders of PCGS.
