<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Morgandude11, post: 7726661, member: 37839&quot;]I know Morgan Dollars as well as anybody who has posted on this site.&nbsp; It was absolutely 100% with certainty cleaned.&nbsp; I posted the specific marks that indicated the cleaning.&nbsp; This is not rocket science—PCGS blew the grading on this coin.&nbsp; The reverse has huge scrubbed patches on it, where it was wiped or scrubbed.&nbsp; In those days said cleaning was often done with a toothbrush, or polishing cloth.&nbsp; There are swirl marks on the obverse, indicating a polishing.&nbsp; I agree that the coin is AU, but it is 100% certainly cleaned.&nbsp; It is clearly a details coin.&nbsp; PCGS market graded it because of the date.&nbsp; If it did not have toning, you would clearly see the patches where it has been cleaned.&nbsp; I sent pictures of this coin by text message to a friend of mine who works for PCGS’ competition.&nbsp; His response was “are they kidding?”&nbsp; His professional opinion was that the coin was cleaned, and market graded.&nbsp; This happens ALL THE TIME, so say I, and an expert on grading.&nbsp; Also, to set things straight, 1893 Philadelphia is not a weak strike date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
