I bought this awhile ago for a decent price however I am thinking something is wrong with the coin. There appears to be some green like spotting on the cheek. In the trueviews it does not show up. What is going on here? Is there something wrong with this coin? Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I do not see the 'green spots' on the cheek in any of the pictures... dents/dings yes...If you can see the green spots in hand, it 'could' be PVC contamination...If so, it should be neutralized...PCGS can do that for you... for a fee. Cheers, RickO
I don't see green but I do see what looks like a filmy layer of something. It could be just a little layer of patina. Peace dollars will sometimes get a thin layer that can look odd. It would be easier to tell in-hand, of course.
Advice I was often given that struck me as hard, but in retrospect was spot-on was this: This is not an especially rare or valuable coin. If there is something about it that bothers you, it will probably always bother you. Getting it "fixed" is usually more expensive than the coin is worth to start with. Just sell it and get one you really like.
From my computer, it does look like a green haze, like PVC. Hard to tell without seeing it in person.

I see an area the size of a dime from upper cheek into hair that appears green to me on my computer. If it looks like green inhand you may have an issue that requires help.

Needs a dip?
Looks like PVC to me.
I think you have a very light coat of PCV that probably wasn't visible when the coin was graded. This might be covered under PCGS's guarantee. If not, crack it out and acetone bath time would be my recommendation.
Yup looks like PVC. Needs a crackout and a long soak in acetone.
No disrespect intended, but the TV looks to be a much better image.
I see nothing wrong.
When you sell it be sure to use the TV images.
