True view images are not an accurate description of a coin 80% of the time. Also, you can download larger images to share here. Your image here isn't large enough to be certain why PCGS thought it was questionable.

Re: Need help on what went wrong with my submissions please
I will respond to this, but like Earle said, we only want one coin per topic. Thanks.
You didn't do anything wrong and we're looking at images. Maybe try to send them to another company or have someone examine in hand, they're nice coins, but some are questionably toned.

Re: PCGS Restoration Candidate? 1890-cc Morgan
We can tell you that, the restoration is a consultation service first, they determine if it can be conserved so this question cannot be answered here. It takes lots of education, experience and seeing a coin in hand for conservation.

Re: wrong planchet
When someone states they don’t trust their dealers but don’t know the coin minting process nor what a proof is, then I decline to help. The dealers are telling you the truth, but for that you mistrust them or you assume they can’t be trusted. No cool. Just ask about your coins. Thanks

Re: Restoration or touch up copper 1909-19823 cents before grading...
You can't restore copper cents, if you do then they will be considered damaged or questionable and will not grade straight. Acetone will not hurt, but acetone only removes PVC residue, tape or glue.
