<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 496680, member: 3726&quot;]Well I agree - but if you have hairlines then some people will say damaged. I do think on the higher end coins, even with a soft cloth you might impact the luster and lower the grade on the coin.&nbsp; I think on VF on down - probably not much impact.</p><p><br /></p><p>In my opinion the tpg&#039;s are not consistent will calling a coin cleaned.&nbsp; There have been some pretty nice coins posted that were body bagged as cleaned.&nbsp; In my opinion there was nothing harsh about the cleaning - based on the pictures. To me, the older the coin the more likely you will see a cleaned coin(and or damaged coins) slabbed by PCGS/NGC. Specifically thinking about bust coinage. I also think they let more semi-key/key dates slip thru to get slabbed.&nbsp; My opinion only.</p><p><br /></p><p>I also have no problem if someone wants to spend $30 to get a $50 dollar coin slabbed. At least slabbed the buyer feels more confident about the grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Just my opinion. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
