<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1762351, member: 112&quot;]If a coin is in a slab that says Cleaned&nbsp; then the coin has been harshly cleaned. The TPG&#039;s just use the 1 word because of space restrictions on the label.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>PCGS provides this definition for the code number 92 they use - </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><i>92| Cleaned – surface damage due to a harsh, abrasive cleaning</i></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>- so don&#039;t be confused just because it only has the 1 word on the slab label.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If a coin has been cleaned (but not harshly cleaned), then there is no special notation or word saying so on the slab label. And there are literally millions and millions of coins that have been cleaned in slabs. But the cleaning was properly done so the coin was not damaged by the cleaning. So there is no need for any notation or code number.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So if a seller is asking close to retail for a coin that has Cleaned on the label, then that seller is asking too much and hoping that he can take advantage of some unsuspecting or uneducated buyer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
