Some people do it because they have PCGS Registry sets, for one thing.
1895-PG V. PCGS MS61. This was not an inexpensive coin. But all Puerto Rican coins are scarce, and the peso in Mint State is particularly nice...

Congrandulations, Granny!
My instinct was 64 but when I saw the hit in the sky above Monticello I downgraded to 63. So I've gotten it wrong with everybody else. The...
I don't know for sure. Like you, I don't know how they would've been cleaned if they were. Perhaps they weren't, and they just didn't turn as...
