I just bought this - please grade - I will post what ANACs said afterwards: *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***  |

I'll say EF45 given the amount of luster that seems to be in the recesses.
Maybe this needs to be moved to the grading forum?

VF35 I will guess low.
But it is a terrific coin with great eye appeal for that key date.

Well from what I understand, ANACs is supposed to overgrade right? BTW can someone point out to me where this one looks like it was cleaned? I am trying to learn. To me, the surfaces do look original.   I bought the coin, not the slab, all the others marked as cleaned had that MS 70 coin dip luster. This one just had a lot of eye appeal to me. Do you think 230.00 was to high? |

Maybe they put your coin in the wrong holder? I would write to them. Your images were very clear and I would not have suspected a cleaning.
As far as the price, I wouldn't know.
It seems to me this is a difficult year to grade by detail, and it is odd since there was low mintage and it is a new design.

I'm no expert, but a cleaning never crossed my mind. I would have guessed xf45.

Yea, I don't agree with the cleaning portion. I figured this could go AU. Hard to tell with Washington's if its die wear or circulation wear. You have to be able to manipulate light angles to tell.
i think $230 is a great price. This coin is easily in XF+ territory. And if it is AU and mis-graded as cleaned, if you can get it re-slabbed, it would be a very good deal.
I would be happy with this coin as is, in an album for $230 all day long. Nice pick up!

I was going to guess EF-45. From the picture, I don't see any reason to call it cleaned. I guess they were just having a bad day.

You have to remember, ANACS loves the term "cleaned".
8/10 coins I've seen in their holders, have some kind of problem.
My advice, crack it out and come time to sell, if that's your goal eventually, sell as problem free.

You guys have made me feel even better about this gem. I remembered the advice the CCF family has given in the past to buy the coin and not the slab. So I did some looking around. I am still learning about slabs and their actual impact in the hobby. But I saw this one and thought it just looked too close to an original.
I was happy with the price I paid anyway - but now am even moreso. If I do ever go to sell - and maybe before (I think jbuck just smiled) - the plastic will be gone.
