[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1002493, member: 112"]If a Lincoln was rubbed with an eraser - 200 years later it would still be a problem coin. Once a problem coin - always a problem coin. There is no fixing them. For example - any coin that has dark, unsightly toning is not a problem coin. But a coin where that dark toning has been allowed to progress to the point that it has corroded the metal is a problem coin. Examples of problem coins are those that have been harshly/improperly cleaned, whizzed, have altered surfaces, artificial toning etc etc. Basically anything that PCGS or NGC would put in a Genuine slab is a problem coin.[/QUOTE]
