I only see a cleaned coin without any mechanical damage. I have learned to take PCGS's grades with a grain of salt, and you should too. Maybe they used the wrong code. If you are not happy with the holder, crack it out. You know that it is genuine. I would actually value a damaged coin more than a cleaned coin, as long as the damage is not severe. If PCGS saw damage other than the cleaning, it was very minor as I do not see it. But the moral of the story is that you should have known that you were getting a "details" coin, and you should have paid accordingly. A "cleaned" coin is a "damaged" coin, just by another name. Preferring one label to another is folly. Report this Post to the Staff
