<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 7847670, member: 104064&quot;]Hahaha, I know the feeling. My most expensive coin purchase (profile pic) is graded UNC Details - Cleaned. I just wanted to have one, so I got it at a discount because of the grade, then it arrived and I went, what? The coin is spectacular and there&#039;s no way I&#039;d call it &quot;cleaned&quot;. They obviously mistook die polish for cleaning hairlines, and I looked at every single image I could find of this coin and found the same &quot;hairlines&quot; on other examples. But a famous collector that a large batch (1500 or so) of coins all came from was notorious for cleaning his coins, and that inserted bias into the grading process. Which is my opinion. </p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, I understand what you&#039;re saying about &quot;UNC Scratched&quot;. The two are not compatible. If it&#039;s scratched, it&#039;s &quot;circulated&quot;. The scratch didn&#039;t happen at the mint. But the TPGs don&#039;t see it that way, it&#039;s all in the definition of &quot;circulated&quot;.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
