<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 2865122, member: 43130&quot;]According to their website, PCGS designates more &quot;cleaned&quot; coins than any other problem. I know for me, I&#039;ve spent up to 6 or 7 minutes studying coins under different lighting and angles and have seen no evidence of a past cleaning, yet all too often I get one or two coins in my submissions deemed &quot;cleaned.&quot; I&#039;ve even sent coins in multiple times that are detailed the 1st or 2nd time, then they come back problem free. One was an AU58 Bust Half. I&#039;ve even heard of coins in mint cello coming back as cleaned (second hand info)!</p><p><br /></p><p>So do they work from a position of fear? How can we study coins for lengthy periods of time, and yet they spend 8-20 seconds on them and call then cleaned? Do they give up verifying their suspicion in order to move on to the next coin and just use it as a catch-all? Just wondering your thoughts/experiences.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
