<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 7930786, member: 112&quot;]When the TPGs put cleaned on the slab like that it&#039;s shorthand for harshly and or improperly cleaned. And what you&#039;re wondering is why they said that about that particular coin because you&#039;re not sure, you don&#039;t really see signs of it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that because there are more ways than you can count to harshly/improperly clean a coin, and most of them have different identifying characteristics that unless you know what you&#039;re looking at, you simply don&#039;t or can&#039;t see it. And a lot of the time you have to have the coin in hand to see it.</p><p><br /></p><p>In this case I suspect it has to do with the work that was done on the reverse, it looks like an acid was used, and incorrectly. And that translates into harshly/improperly cleaned. Could I be wrong ? Yeah, but I don&#039;t think I am.</p><p><br /></p><p>By the way, the numbers I was talking about, that&#039;s what PCGS uses, it&#039;s how they do it. When I saw the first pics, I thought, and incorrectly so, that that it was a PCGS slab because it was clear.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
