[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7935219, member: 115909"]Thanks! Yeah I was saying that the problems with mine like the light scratch and old cleaning are still considered problem coins but because they are so minor it doesn’t knock 80% off the price tag like with major problem coins such as the OP coin with holes and dents and all kinds of damage. Coins like that take a huge price hit. As for the cleaning I’ve been told that NGC doesn’t put “cleaned” if the cleaning is really old and isn’t done to try to deceive by making the coin look better than it is. I imagine even when these coins were in circulation they were cleaned. People worked dirty jobs and what do you do when you get a really dirty coin? You wipe it off. Especially a dollar which was a significant sum of money. Kind of like how today if someone hands you a really wrinkled $20 bill it’s almost instinctual to smooth it out. I’ve done it many times. Nice 1795! I do like it and the plug is definitely not noticeable at all. :) I hope to get one myself some day but the prices are just so high for decent examples even in a grade like F12.[/QUOTE]
