The written standards are much more lenient than the ANA standards. But even given that, seldom are the written PCGS standards even followed, the coins, as a general rule, are even over-graded according to them. Especially in the lower grades.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is no question in my mind that this coin has been cleaned, the question is, has it been harshly cleaned ?

Normally I would say the TPG graded this coin AU55 based on the amount of wear and remaining luster. But the asking price is more in line with AU53, even if it is just a tad high for that grade. So my guess is gonna have to be the TPG said 53.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally, I&#039;d say 45 all day long.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
