Just curious how we know this is cleaned! The photos on mobile arent clear and it doesn't appear that the slab specifies this.

They say that they were cleaned with "Vim" .. used to clean stove tops, etc.

Does anyone have a toned coin and a bottle of Vim? It would be an interesting experiment. If you submerge the coin in Vim and rinse it off, it is considered "cleaned"? I have dipped my fair share of coins and never thought of using
Vim. I wonder what PCGS thinks of this practice for coins other than the 1911 dollar.

I think that VIM is like a thick liquid or creamy, runny substance that has almost a smooth, but possibly gritty feel. It removes stubborn spots on a stove surface by minutely scratching away the spots, rather than dissolving them. I don't think that they were submerged in VIM ... he used it to rub over the surfaces of the coins.

$552,000 is the final price. Did it actually sell. I see that as the Sold price but when I click on the detail page, it shows Not Sold. Did $460K (price before premium) fail to trip the reserve? |

I guess a lot of collectors saw the 11 dollar in hand and was disappointed with the grading and did not bid,

It was sold. Sandy Campbell put out a twitter message this morning that "it has been repatriated to Canada, to stay"
Very pleased to hear it is staying in Canada.

This might be a newbie question, but does anyone know where the other ones are, or if they've been destroyed?
