<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Speedy, post: 69822, member: 705&quot;]I can&#039;t be 100% sure without the coin in hand but I trust ANACS that they must have seen something that could lean to cleaning...I don&#039;t agree with them all the time but it is true that back in the 1800&#039;s and after that cleaning was thought of as a good thing...when a coin is in this good of grade it shows that it might have been a coin collector that owned it...and that also goes along with why it would have been cleaned.</p><p><br /></p><p>The people at ANACS at knowledgeable and a lot more than some coins dealers I know...</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Then that is what you should do if you don&#039;t agree but it always it a good idea to look and try to see what they saw.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>True....but it can also save a un-knowing new collector from buying a cleaned coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>From what I have heard...you can have a restrike from the dies...but something might not be right...maybe a detail is wrong or some little part is missing...therefore it would be called a restrike and would be called more of a Token...ANACS might not grade restrikes...that is why they sent it back</p><p><br /></p><p>Speedy[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
