<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mark Feld, post: 486480, member: 11467&quot;]Regarding the coin which is the subject of this thread - I believe that it is a solid AU coin which has been lightly cleaned. I thought that the cleaning was noticeable enough so that it could body-bag, but that if it graded, it would do so as an AU. If I remember correctly, one of them thought it would body-bag and another thought it would grade, but as XF.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>What many people fail to appreciate is that often, the decision as to whether to body-bag a coin (due to a problem such as cleaning/wiping, etc.) can be as or more difficult than the decision regarding what numerical grade to assign. It is a judgment call and is inherently subjective and can be inconsistent in nature. Therefore, it is not surprising to me that NGC body-bagged it and PCGS graded it - things could just as easily have turned out differently in each case.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
