<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2438156, member: 71338&quot;]I am thinking of TPG grading. Are you telling me they only details grade coins like you describe? Are you kidding? Have you never seen a minimally cleaned coin details graded as cleaned? I guess their actual wording is &quot;improperly&quot; cleaned. This includes harsh cleaning and light cleaning. There&#039;s no difference to them. My usage was just substituting harsh for improper. In any case, the point of my question was to ask if this coin would grade clean or not - and I don&#039;t think there&#039;s a definitive answer from that pic. If a coin is given a details grade due to cleaning, I think it&#039;s appropriate to say it was harshly done; otherwise, it would have graded. Note that harsh has 2 meanings: 1) rough to the eyes or other senses; 2) severe or cruel. Even the second meaning could apply if you&#039;re comparing an uncleaned/market-acceptable coin to a lightly cleaned one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
