<p>[QUOTE=&quot;z4298, post: 1759578, member: 45225&quot;]I buy the coin, not the grade. Grading is very subjective. I sent a beautiful 1955 DDO cent to NGC and it came back AU details, improperly cleaned. I pulled this coin from an original bank roll of 1955 DDO&#039;s so I know it was never cleaned. A local dealer suggested I bust out the coin, handle it without gloves to &quot;dirty up&quot; the coin and then leave it in a sunny window for a month on each side. I did this and the coin browned very nicely but looked far worse than when it was first graded. I resubmitted the coin and it came back MS64 BN. I now have an ugly brown 1955 DDO that&#039;s worth considerably more but the in my opinion, the &quot;AU&quot; coin looked much better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
