<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TypeCoin971793, post: 3245752, member: 78244&quot;]The most heated response I have ever gotten was from someone with a F-15 draped bust quarter in PCGS plastic which had a harsh scrubbing at least 50 years ago (it had toned back fairly dark). The entire surface was covered in distracting hairlines. I said as much, but the owner explicity said that I was an idiot because PCGS does not straight-grade cleaned coins. I’ve had multiple other collectors and dealers tell me the same thing.</p><p><br /></p><p>This sounds more like the market has erroneously assumed (or been mis-educated) that straight-graded coins have no problems of any form, rather than deciding that the definition of “problem-free” is “not having severe-enough problems to warrant a details grade.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
