<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gemmint, post: 373311, member: 14548&quot;]<b>Cleaned coins versus over-graded</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I too have bought a number of MS70 and PR70 SGS graded coins. Not being an expert collector nor a grader of coins, the coins still looked nice both in the pictures and when I received them. Now I&#039;m wondering if these coins were cleaned up before being put into slabs to make them look more like the grade they were given or are they just overgraded coins? Anyone know how to tell if a coin has been cleaned (without taking it out of the slab and looking at it under magnification)? Also anyone else heard about disreputable grading companies that might have cleaned/scrubbed coins?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
