<p>[QUOTE=&quot;iPen, post: 2309215, member: 69760&quot;]I&#039;m wondering if some of the lower grades designated by TPGs already factor in possible cleaning damage. It seems that many worn out, circulated coins were likely cleaned; but, perhaps the circulation wear masks most cleaning jobs, so it would be a futile effort to distinguish the two, save for the harshest of cleanings.</p><p><br /></p><p>I bet most of the VG and below, and even many up to VF grade coins, have a good deal of cleaning done to them (at any time since their inception, such as the random VG 9 slabbed coin below). </p><p><br /></p><p>Pic from the &#039;net:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.tomscoinworld.com/assets/images/1921SLQ8full.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://www.tomscoinworld.com/assets/images/1921SLQ8full.JPG" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
