[QUOTE="kanga, post: 419536, member: 9270"]If I know or suspect a coin has been cleaned, I just pass on it. To me any money above melt is wasted on a cleaned coin. I've only been caught once (that I know of.) Bought a nice looking half dime raw and sent it in to NGC. Came back body bagged for being cleaned. It took me 10-15 minutes with my 10x loupe before I spotted the hairlines. I turned and tilted that coin every which way to finally spot the problem. Shipped it off to ANACS, got it in a "DETAIL" slab and sold it at a loss.[/QUOTE]
