    It has been cleaned. Lucky it was straight graded. I would have gone AU details.

    It definitely hasnt been cleaned.. They sent back half of my coins as cleaned.. Its probably just because the picture is in the holder

    And I see a lot of anacs cleaned. So they do know what a cleaned coin is at least some of the time.

    Idk how you guys can accurately assess a coin being cleaned or not in low lighting from a flat photo of a coin in a holder

    Without a doubt cleaned.I’ve been collecting Morgans for many years. Your coin is cleaned. Has abrasion marks all over it, and has a dull, luster less look. Be happy with the AU 55, as it was unquestionably cleaned.

    Abrasion marks from cleaning, as a learning experience, are circled.

    That coin is a MS coin but low MS due to the nicks on it. However it’s also been cleaned or over dipped and that is what lowered the grade to AU. Count you blessings that it straight graded. If you crack put and resubmit it may come back as a details coin. I’d leave as is.

    Those marks are on the holder, not on the coin

    So why only an MS62? There is literally not ONE mark ANYWHERE on this coin.. I submitted 4 of them.. Each better than the rest and I didn't get a grade over a 65..
