<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fizzy, post: 1293776, member: 32632&quot;]hello.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>years ago i purchased a stunning isabella quarter - i submitted it to pcgs for grading but it came back ungraded with an indication that it was cleaned.&nbsp; i accept their determination, even though i don&#039;t recognize what they idenitifeid as evidence of cleaning - it was probably dipped and probably the luster is &quot;off.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>anyway, i wonder if somehow i can weather it - you know, leaving it out for a bit of toning to take place - or leaving it next to something like steel or salt or subjecting it to cold then hot - something; i&#039;m wondering if retoning it is possible, and in a short time, and whether it would appear fake, because i&#039;d like to resubmit it to pcgs.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>otherwise, any suggestion of a second-tier grader that is not as picky about cleaned coins?&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>i&#039;d also like to know if my asking this is ... how to say ... offensive to any sensibilities, like &quot;how dare you insinuate cleaned coins in an uncleaned coin marketplace?!?!&quot;&nbsp; personally, i think some cleaned coins are more desireable than some uncleaned coins, and that the absolute criteria of uncleaned sometimes as arbitrary as first strike.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>thanks for your consideration!&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>-greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
