<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Randy Abercrombie, post: 3066736, member: 92655&quot;]The infinitesimal criteria we use these days regarding grading and coin care are worlds apart from the criteria used by our numismatic ancestors. Back in the 1990’s I was enamored with bust halves. I remember having a conversation once with a dealer about a bust half that had been cleaned many years ago. I remember his comment as being, “All these old halves were cleaned a hundred years ago. It’s understood and accepted”....... Do the TPG’s regard an “old” cleaning any differently than they do one undertaken recently? A damaged surface is a damaged surface isn’t it?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
