<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2762848, member: 19463&quot;]Was an attempt at cleaning made or is the difference just the photo?&nbsp; We talk a lot about removing fake sand patinas but how much abuse is a genuine surface likely to endure before it convinces someone that it is not easily soluble? Grades change with standards over time and it is unlikely that the same eyes graded the coin both times.&nbsp; I&#039;d be more worried that the coin gained .06g over time but I doubt the scales accuracy and calibration were the same both times either.&nbsp; It is possible to add .06g worth of RenWax etc. as well.&nbsp; Did CNG change cameras, scales, employees or all of those between sale 97 and 398?&nbsp; Opinion: Good Fine is high enough.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
