Details grade why?

Hey @Pickin and Grinin . Is that a Missing clad Error ? CLEANED ?

 

You know, a dealer or a collector might have thought it was just toned. Gave it a quick dip and put it in a folder.
I don't know the reverse has a very deep red luster. The reverse shows definite radial flow lines, albeit a weak strike. Given the 4.6g weight.

 

Too me the coin shows circulation and not a cleaned surface.
The copper surely could be gaining a skin in the slab, If it did get dipped. I can see this coin in pink for sure.

 

biggest problem with error coins is that when someone without numismatic experience the first thing they do is think, hmm that's not right so they take the bottom of their shirt and start rubbing the heck out of the coin. With that said I don't see anything that screams details on this coin it looks like average circulation issues but some people are a higher grade level than me on error's lol

 

Hey, Chris, @cpm9ball can you post yours, and what does it weigh?

 

Upon request by P&G, here it is again, and I've tagged both @Cheech9712 and @masterswimmer because they like to see it, too!

P&G - I don't know what it weighs because I didn't think of weighing it before I submitted it to NGC, and I didn't ask them to weigh it either. It wasn't like I was questioning its authenticity as someone might if they found it in circulation after it had toned. It came right out of a Mint bag.

 

Doug, do you think that is damage along the rim between 9 & 11 o'clock on the reverse? I can't see anything else that would be considered damage.

 

Just a guess, but maybe they felt the splotchy color on the rev and toning on the obv, were indicative of environmental damage or improper cleaning.

 

Why not just research the number on the slab to resolve the "details" mystery. Also, to me, the Kennedy missing the clad in the photo is not the same as "details"...rather indeed an error as noted but also with a straight grade. Many others if not most should be done this same way...not relegated to just "details."

 

Thanks Doug, I learned something today.

 

It is ANACS, says cleaned.

 

Could be there is some definite toning seen on the obverse not usual for a circulated Washington, The reverse has a lot of light silverish toning that is seen on some proof Lincolns.

 

.

 

In the final image it definitely has a cleaned appearance to it.

 

What the tone? It could very well have been dipped.

 

Which with copper would result in an off color and a Cleaned designation.
