Maybe those cracks will buff out.

Just the Sellers... Not the Service
I bought a few Peace dollars from a dude on eBay and he said he cracked them out to put in his album. They were all PCGS except one Anacs. He had the tags taped onto flips. I bought them for cheap, and every one went up a grade except the Anacs 24-S which came back at MS-62, the same grade on the tag.
Years ago (circa 1994) I acquired a PCI MS64 California which was PQ with very frosty luster. At that time I was an ANACS submitter (primarily due to the fact I my inventory was heavy on Modern World Gold) and cracked it and sent it to ANACS who graded it MS63. The other coins I submitted (all PCI crackouts - circulated US gold, and mod gold I felt were undergraded) all upgraded. This grade was way off and unacceptable IMO so I cracked it and sent it to NGC and got MS64. I later retailed the coin at a Houston area show. Shortly after that I became an NGC submitter not necessarily because of that but mainly due to people on the bourse who expected a discount if a coin was in an ANACS slab. Currently I submit to both PCGS and NGC with PCGS getting the bulk.
My best example of such a coin not working for me was a TPG graded MS64 $10 Liberty. It looked a grade higher to me. Cracked it out and proceeded to get body bags from both PCGS and NGC for altered surfaces. The coin was finally shipped off to auction as a raw coin. The auction house resubmitted it and it came back MS66 on the first try. The first submission is just a single grading event. Odds are fairly good that on 2-3 more grading events the coin will grade something different....and not necessarily higher. In my case above there were 4 grading events with only 2 being the same.

And the combined efforts of the FBI, the CIA, the Border Patrol, the ANA Board, Don Willis, Customs, The Fence and the Coast Guard haven't yet been enough to headed off the pestilential tsunami slouching towards its hellishly-assigned hole in the dike.
And, are we really smart trusting Canada when they have such superb Moo Goo Gai Pan in Saskatchewan. Near a pipeline.
Back to (superficially) the coin and slab themselves. A sloppy application of "The Jaws of Life". Are there condoms on the broken slabs?
The guy on the coin? Didn't someone shoot his nephew's brother-in-law and start WW I ?
There's something happening here. What it is ain't exactly clear.
Forget about the slabs. Forget about the tape. The coins look borderline-ED.
