<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KBBPLL, post: 26226013, member: 104064&quot;]More details on that example - it was part of the Cook collection, complete collection of Canadian coins, but he ruined a lot of them. Something like 20-25% in the auction got Details grades. Big submission to PCGS, bunches of cleaned coins, PCGS whips through them, sees all the cleaned coins, saw &quot;hairlines&quot; on this one, presumed it was another &quot;cleaned&quot; coin, on to the next one. That&#039;s just my impression of what happened - lack of attention to a specific coin within a large lot to get out the door. They mistook die polish for cleaning - I found images of several others with exactly the same die lines. A higher-up at ANACS even called me personally to discuss the pros and cons of conserving it (I had no idea there was lacquer on it). That kind of personal attention makes a customer a fan.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
