<p>[QUOTE=&quot;10gary22, post: 969988, member: 23626&quot;]I think that they took a look at the scratches and felt they were consistent with the ones cleaning makes ? They can only go by what has historically been the case and in no way were trying to degrade your coin intentionally. They tried to evaluate it fairly based on what the graders saw. I doubt they have a designation &quot;consistent with being clean&quot; or &quot;appears cleaned&quot;, etc. They HAVE to label it by what they see and nothing else. As a buyer, you would expect that. As a seller, you always hope for the highest value you can get. I think the experts here are telling us that we need to be better at evaluating our items ourselves to prevent the surprises ? I mean if you had any idea it would receive the &quot;cleaned&quot; designation, you likely would have not submitted it, right ? This thread has been a real eye opener for me and has shown the need to greatly hone my own skills. Everyone here tells us Knowledge is the key, now I see why. IMHO[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
