<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSorbo, post: 4224845, member: 56370&quot;]This statement is a great illustration of a topic that comes up frequently on CT: proper versus harsh/improper cleaning.&nbsp; Ideally if a coin has been properly cleaned it shouldn’t look like it has.&nbsp; However, I can attest to having seen and owned coins that look cleaned but are still in problem free holders.&nbsp; Some series, Trade Dollars for example, seem to be treated more leniently.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>My first Trade Dollar was a VF25 in a PCGS holder that was practically blast white and had to have been dipped.&nbsp; I can’t imagine that being acceptable with most other series.&nbsp; It may be that dipped circulated coins, which would otherwise not be market acceptable, get a pass if they have retoned and/or are from a series with fewer uncleaned coins.&nbsp; However, I would assume that obvious hairlines would be more apt to get detailed regardless.&nbsp; Perhaps someone could weigh in on this?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
