[QUOTE="daveg713, post: 3997631, member: 104218"]Literally just opened the box: UNC Details—Cleaned. {sigh} I knew this after checking online, but I wanted to try and identify what I'd missed before posting here. So with it finally back in hand, possibly the reverse fields are cleaned, as [USER=10129]@jgrinz[/USER] pointed out? But through various magnification, it still looks good to me. So I'm having a tough time pinning it on that. Maybe it's the cheek I was concerned about? That's possible, I guess. A subtle clean/polish, perhaps? Detecting this cleaning is obviously well beyond my pay grade—one of those results that calls into question all you thought you knew.... I've sent in coins I was close to 100% certain were cleaned after examining them through various levels of magnification, but it still made financial sense to get them slabbed as details coins. But some of them have surprisingly come back straight-graded. Bottom line, almost certainly this coin truly is cleaned and I simply lack the experience to see it in front of me. I've sent coins back for upgrades with some success when I thought they had a decent chance. [I]But has anyone ever gotten a details grade, questioned it, cracked it out and sent it back—and gotten it returned straight-graded?[/I] All the best, Dave[/QUOTE]
