<p>[QUOTE=&quot;-jeffB, post: 1951928, member: 27832&quot;]Yes, I understand that DAMAGED is a separate issue. I included that because I saw slabs that combine the DAMAGED keyword both with CLEANED (no modifier) and IMPROP CLEANED. I tried to find an NGC slab that simply said CLEANED (as opposed to IMPROPERLY or HARSHLY CLEANED); I had no luck, but I didn&#039;t spend that long on the search.</p><p><br /></p><p>So, <b>PCGS</b> just says CLEANING. <b>NGC</b> appears to differentiate IMPROPERLY CLEANED and HARSHLY CLEANED, but <a href="http://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/coin-details/glossary.aspx" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/coin-details/glossary.aspx" rel="nofollow">their glossary</a> doesn&#039;t define HARSHLY CLEANED at all! Maybe it&#039;s an obsolete designation, but you&#039;d think they&#039;d define it <i>somewhere</i>, since there are still plenty of slabs so labeled.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
