Seeing way to many so called "Cleaned" coins.
I believe this company is trying to do a good job, but it's dang funny that the big coin companies come up with bran new coins from the mint with their special labels and they always come up with MS70 or Proof PF 70 coins, while the average collector winds up sending in the same proof coins from the mint that keep coming back 69. Hey I can live with that assuming it's true and the company is all what they say it is. I'd like to believe they are a good company with very knowledgeable folks doing the grading. But maybe the the person doing the grading was just having a bad day or didn't get enough coffee in order to see straight that morning. By grading a coin at 69 it just kills the resale value of the coin or set. Lastly I'LL say this, I've received and seen so dang many coins that say CLEANED !! Uncirculated Details. It's either an AU or it's not by the Sheldon Grading scale. Not something in-between. Do an Ebay search for a "1921 Peace Dollar AU details Cleaned" you mean to tell me folks were just sitting around cleaning all these coins? How they can tell if a 100 year old coin was cleaned or not is at best questionable. The coin may have lost it's luster over the years but it doesn't mean it has been cleaned. Too many coins are coming back as supposedly CLEANED. Or Revers cleaned, you mean to tell me someone just decided to clean the back of the coin, but not the front. %$^&*# I've heard where folks sent in 2021 newly minted Morgan dollars for grading in the U.S. Mint packaging and they came back to the owner as CLEANED. Give me a break.
