Hello thanks for the reply but I have older coins Morgans that have none of the obvious signs of cleaning. I have coins that I have shown to some people who have extensive collections and have been collecting for decades and they can’t understand why these coins came back from NGC as cleaned. I have sent some back for reevaluation only to have NGC reaffirm there decision. Most of the coins from my earlier purchases have been cleaned but as I get more experienced those are far fewer. Another thing I learned is one coin I sent to have professionally conserved and it came back from a MS65 to unc details cleaned. That was the last time I sent a coin in for conservation. thanks you all for your feedback as I have expanded my knowledge on how to tell if a coin has been cleaned.

Thanks thats what exactly what I’m trying to say. Thanks for the clarification also. Frank B

I’m have only been collecting for a short time. But some of my older coins you can see were the surface layer looks like the top layer of silver has worn off and other ares look unworn. Those dull looking coins are good candidates for being cleaned because the earlier coins I bought and sent to NGC came back cleaned. Those types of cleaned coins I no longer struggle with. Now most coins I buy are already graded. I’ll see if I can scan the coin I’m talking about and post pictures tomorrow. thanks

Good morning everyone there are several types of cleaning abrasive, chemical and others that are easily picked up on. I have a Morgan that is a magnificent looking coin no abrasive lines or obvious cleaning signs. It has heavy silver layer and when I asked NGC how they determined it was cleaned all I hot was the typical answer you find on the web. I want to know how to determine a coin has been cleaned when it looks magnificent maybe someone cleaned it with plain soap and water I can’t tell and people who have been collecting for decades and have beautiful collections couldn’t tell it was cleaned. So in ending how do you tell a coin has been cleaned when there is no apparent signs of the coin being cleaned. thanks Frank B

Hi need 2 new slots for 2021 Limited Edition proof set 1) 2021 W EAGLE UNITED STATES S$1 HERALDIC EAGLE T-1 LIMITED EDITION SET - ER NGC PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO 2) 2021 S EAGLE UNITED STATES S$1 EAGLE LANDING T-2 LIMITED EDITION SET - FR NGC PF 70 ULTRA CAMEO

I just reported a PF70 from the Mayflower set with a gashed “Y” in Mayflower and they graded it a PF70 and you can see the gash in the picture on EBAY (so I didn’t buy the coin). I also question how they grade. Also how can these ww2 coins get a first day of issue? They we for sale on one day and sold out in less than 2 hours. Any major dealer couldn’t possibly buy 25 coins on first day it was 1 per customer. But some dealers had 25 coins with a FDOI. only dealers can get a FDOI.
