<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2423552, member: 24314&quot;]Here is the problem and I hope this does not confuse you and others:</p><p><br /></p><p>Depending on the coin series, we can say that every coin under MS-63 has been cleaned, most have been cleaned, or some have been cleaned.&nbsp; That being the case, the TPGS&#039;s walk a line called &quot;market acceptability.&quot;&nbsp; They will usually tolerate more &quot;unoriginality&quot; on a 17th Century Seated Dollar than on a Peace dollar.&nbsp; So, no telling (without the coin in hand) for sure what they would do on any given day by any given grading team!</p><p><br /></p><p>Concerning you coin, I believe the discoloration at the rims is more detracting than any hairlines on it.&nbsp; Since it is going into a &quot;Chopmarked&quot; holder they may ignore this. From the photos, IMO, your coin is NOT cleaned enough to mention.&nbsp; The cleaning that is not tolerated changes the color of the surface or can be seen as continuous parallel hairlines that destroy the original surface.&nbsp; I have found that on this site and others, members are quick to call EVERYTHING cleaned. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie46" alt=":facepalm:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Is there a reason you want it slabbed?&nbsp; A coin like yours can be passed around to feel its &quot;heft&quot; and enjoy holding a piece of American/China history.&nbsp; I should save the money and buy more coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
