Ever wake up at two in the morning, wondering stupid, silly questions? Here's one that has been bugging me...
Suppose I unknowingly bought an altered coin, say, a 1944d Lincoln cent, altered to look like a 1914d. And, in spite of diagnostics, I missed it. I send it in to PCGS for grading, and, low and behold, they catch it as a fake. Does it return body-bagged as Not Genuine, or does it return holdered as a 1944d, Genuine, Altered Surfaces, since it still is a genuine Lincoln cent, just not the date I thought it was?
Next, suppose I know its not a 1914d and send it in as a 1944d? Will it be holdered Genuine, Altered, or body-bagged Not Genuine, since it's been altered in a way to be a counterfeit of something?
