For those who asked for a picture, I did post one above. I cracked out this ANACS AU-58 coin, thinking it would easily grade PCGS AU-58 or at the very least, AU-55. But "altered surfaces" was a real shocker. Apparently, the crack-out game has not made me a winner. I still like the coin, so maybe I'll let it sit on my dresser, sans plastic, staring at me.
You never know what the "poobahs of plastic" will do. I sent two CC Trade Dollars (they were cleaned) to NCS, they came back as "questionable authenticity." ANACS agreed with me that they were genuine and slabbed them as XF, cleaned.
Previously, I sent a nice 1865 Dollar to NGC, they returned it as cleaned. So I sent it in NGC's bodybag to NCS, they kicked it back to NGC, who then slabbed it as XF45.
I sent what I thought was a borderline (cleaned) 1850 Double Eagle along with the Dollar, and it came back as UNC, cleaned. Well, I guess that evens things out.

It's a nice coin. I'm saddened that folks can think so little of a nice gold coin because of Plastic Problems.
But then again, I buy that junk that folks tell you to stay away from! >>
If it got wiped hard, showing parallel hairlines, wouldn't that fall under the "cleaned" category?

I never liked the crack out game and if you must have your coin in PCGS plastic, just send it in for a cross over or upgrade.
Of course you could, if you get lucky, make a windfall profit on a crack out but, it's still a gamble.
