<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SuperDave, post: 2569027, member: 1892&quot;]Good question. I see what you see, but I also see areas of original undamaged luster adjacent to the hairlined areas. My guess is, PCGS decided it was not deliberate cleaning but incidental contact, seeing no evidence of reason to clean the coin. Could be it&#039;s technically of a higher grade, but downgraded for those hairlines. </p><p><br /></p><p>Not all hairlines are cleaning. In their shoes, though, I&#039;d have to have seriously considered a Details grade if the hairlines are as bad as they look (digital imagery is notorious for increasing the visual effect of hairlines).</p><p><br /></p><p>Then again, they could well just have screwed one up. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
