<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2950002, member: 31286&quot;]I&#039;m assuming you mean regarding that 1863 au50 - yeah, could be - what makes you think that?&nbsp; - I&#039;m always interested in why or how people determine that.&nbsp; Perhaps the narrow band of residue around the devices?&nbsp; If so it would probably be an old cleaning. Similar to the obverse of the topic coin. From what I&#039;ve experienced with PCGS of late they don&#039;t seem to reject cleaned coins if they aren&#039;t damaged by the cleaning - like some old coins that are absolutely bright white and get full grades - obviously dipped.&nbsp; And I even wonder about some that pass CAC scrutiny - silver in circulated grades that are totally the same dull gray color throughout.&nbsp;&nbsp; Seems kind impossible for those not to have been wiped clean at some point - wouldn&#039;t they have some uneven toning from being handled?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
