<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 38875, member: 1779&quot;]Very good points, longnine. However, I&#039;ve had some raw coins which, to me, just showed no signs of cleaning or dipping at all (I&#039;m usually OK detecting whizzed or polished surfaces), but when they&#039;ve come back from PCGS, they&#039;ve been bodybagged. I think one problem is that I just do not have enough slabbed coins with which to compare since the degree of luster for MS coins may vary from year to year within a series (Morgans in my instance) and I can&#039;t match them year-for-year. Whereas, at PCGS, they have thousands with which to compare, not to mention the years of experience. I swear sometimes, they can pick out a coin and label it cleaned if it got within ten feet of distilled water.</p><p><br /></p><p>Like you, with raw coins, I QUESTION EVERYTHING. Unless there is some compelling reason for me to do otherwise, I presume all raw Morgans on eBay have been cleaned at some point and I now won&#039;t buy unless the seller will accept a return if it comes back bodybagged by PCGS.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
