Here's the Link to thread in case you don't. Well my grades showed up and the results!!!!
Genuine - UNC Details (94 - Altered Surf.)
So my question is, why didn't it get an actual grade instead of just a Genuine?? And how would I know if the color was the altered surfaces or if the surface was altered??

But if the toning was the issue, wouldn't it come back as "Questionable Toning" instead of "Altered Surfaces"?

<< <i>I'm just wondering here, but maybe it was whizzed? I see some marks on the cheek, neck and left obv field that look sort of like arcs or little circles. They might also be fingerprints, hard to tell. If whizzed that could explain the A.S. code. Just guessing based on what I can see. >>
I think you see a break in the toning. The toning does not look good for a Peace dollar IMO. But, it never hurts to try if you are not certain. Sorry for the way it worked out for you.

a byproduct of that. As I said in the original thread, that toning does not look natural to my eye.
However, just looking at the coin, my guess is that there's something wrong with the surface of the coin (smoothing, tooling, whizzing, cleaning, even mild environmental damage) and someone added the artificial toning to cover up the surface anomaly.
Sometimes color is faked to try to add value, other times it is added to be deceptive and hide something.

<< <i>AT that is covering up other another problem. >>
I could be wrong, but I checked this coin, which I thought was pretty thorough, for anything else that would BB this coin. I didn't see anything out of the ordinary.

<< <i>Well I got the coin back in the mail today. The details were "residue" >>
...let her sleep in a glass bowl of acetone and then resubmit if you like...residue is no match acetone

I like the look of the coin, but it still a crapshoot for grading.
That said, they usually take just the first thing that would GEN a coin.
So, if you REALLY want to see if you can get it in a PCGS holder, then do the acetone bit on it.
Would hurt it.
May still GEN if they feel there is another reason for it. Just so you are aware of that.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment
<< <i>Oh well, a lesson learned. I think there is still going to be small market for it to recoup my losses. >>
These kinds of coins often get strong dollars on Ebay. You may still make out ok.
