<p>[QUOTE="statequarterguy, post: 779096, member: 21782"]Grading coins is an art developed over time. I learned as a child, "cutting my teeth" on inexpensive coins, so the lessons learned weren't too costly, looking back. Maybe others can weigh in on what I believe and that is most coins have been cleaned at one time or another (especially if they're frosty white Morgans), it's simply impossible for a coin not to tarnish, unless it's sealed right from the mint. So, the question should be, how was the coin cleaned, properly affecting the surfaces very little or with Ajax leaving scour lines all over it, destroying it's appeal?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
