Wow, That hurts... Only one made slab. From what I have read in previous threads dosn't he/she have a good chance at having the four Altered Surface coins resubmitted and make slab??

Yes, altered surfaces = artificial toning. >>
Artificial Toning is usually desginated as such. Altered surface is usually much more serious--whizzing, acid etching, tooling, putty, electroplating, etc

Tuition is not cheap.
Just realize most if not all of these probably came from dealers.
OUCH did I say that, well yes I did CAUSE...........
90% plus of my bad experiences were with dealers, taking their professional word for something.
Or was it the next dealer that was the scum ball oh well either way.
Just like Vampire bats they do serve a purpose I guess.
hope that helps,
