<p>[QUOTE="Vess1, post: 20894801, member: 13650"]Yeah, IME sending anything in seems like a roll of the dice. I believe and am hopeful it will cross. You can think you have it figured out and then they notice something you didn't. As long as it straight grades is all I care. If it downgrades, it'll be an expensive lesson. Fairly unique example for the grade so is worth it to me. </p><p> I'm in total agreement with the A,B,C assessment. Have seen it a lot. I believe it takes many more hours of evaluating coins than many collectors commit to it in order to notice it. Color, strike, luster/no luster, staining, spots, marks, abrasions, and overall eye appeal, all play a roll in it, even if allowable for the grade. But the prices will all be the same. If it's an A its usually above price guide values without needing a + designtation. And if you aren't willing to pay, they don't care. </p><p> </p><p> I've seen ICG slabs noting cleaned coins, I was just wondering if anybody thought they were as good at catching cleaned coins as the leading services, if anybody would even know or had an opinion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
