From what I have read and seen, in Europe they don't worry as much about cleaning as they do in the US. A coin with a good strike, sharp details,...

It was fun seeing this again.
Great story and a great act! I enjoyed reading it!
Anacs or ICG are the better bet. The issue with PCGS or NGC (or CACG) is that the error coins would have to be sent on a different tier to get...
Glad you got the grade at PCGS!
Some cool additions and sounds like you had fun at the show!

@geekpryde I agree with you on being annoyed with how dealers handle slabs (especially when they toss them, slide them, drop them right in front...
