<p>[QUOTE="Bmagold, post: 4751228, member: 105484"]I intended to write this a bit earlier but I have been busy w/my mother having to put her in the hospital. I sent a coin known as the world's smallest coin aka. The " Panama pill " I paid PCGS to do some conservation or restoration work on it and have it slabbed and graded I was informed by another grading co. that they felt it could use it because it looked as if it had a residue however they could not slab or grade it as they didn't have a slab small enough to hold it. I was very excited to see the coin encapsulated along with the conservation work and grade. Well I finally got it back and was stunned to see that it has been condemned w/a detail cleaned. Can anyone help me make sense as to why there is a detail tag cleaned on my coin after I paid to clean it. I can only figure that the grader did not know it went thru conservation and was paid for. I don't think it can be determined that it had been cleaned before I paid for it to be cleaned otherwise why would they take my money and clean it and then turn around and label it cleaned unless their conservation works that way where they offer the service and take the money and the ruin any kind of value by labeling it cleaned cause that's not what I understood. If that is the case I never would have paid for the conservation service. Again please help me to understand how this makes any sense.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
