<p>[QUOTE="buddy16cat, post: 1499300, member: 37356"]When I used the PCGS originally, I got VF 25. The seller's reasoning of "I saw a coin listed at VF and this coin is much nicer than that one, so it must be XF" didn't fly with me. I would have paid lower if I could but people kept outbidding me so I figured it must be worth more since it was to others. Still half price for that harsh cleaning though according to Numismedia. I ordered a Redbook and should check that. You can't ignore what is obvious though as far as what is cleaned or not. Those circular marks are systematic and look intentionally done. I am just wondering if the last owner did it but probably not since the reverse is starting to re-tone. If I was to speculate, I would say this coin if it made it into a slab, which it might, it would be listed as "VF-Details, Harshly Cleaned".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
