<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 512480, member: 6036&quot;]IMO... yes - sort of. It might be better than 60 details.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Anyone can quantify the details on a coin.

Most coins have problems of one degree or another, and it&#039;s much more difficult assigning an &quot;impact&quot; to problems.

To some folks, it might be so light they still see cartwheel; MS63 details is worth MS62 money. Others see the same coin and wouldn&#039;t pay more than XF money.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I would use classic Halperin-style grading to arrive at a total grade without the cleaning (strike, details, nicks, bumps, remaining luster, etc). Then determine how bad the cleaning drops that number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
