[QUOTE="Barry Murphy, post: 3446556, member: 79368"]NGC will grade ancient coins that have been cleaned, as they nearly all have been cleaned. The Tullius would grade VF or CVF depending on how it looks in hand. Strike would be a 5. Surface probably a 4, perhaps a 5 if the coin looks better in hand, or a 3 if the cleaning is not great and there are lots of cleaning hairlines on the coin. Also, there's no such thing at NGC as an ancient coin in a Details holder. We straight grade just about anything that's authentic and not tooled. Barry Murphy[/QUOTE]
