Which is different. A couple others are different too but this one is two different categories. Just curious what PCGS usually does in this case. Can they just update it online from cleaned to damage? It has two little gouge marks. Report this Post to the Staff

Cleaning is surface damage, and cleaning is a details grade. https://www.PCGS.com/grades#grade92 Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
Jester Valued Member United States 210 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 4:29 pm Yeah I get that, but damage has its own code (98) vs cleaning which is code (92). So I have others that say details (98-damage) on coin facts. But the holder says "bent" because it has a rim ding. Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 4:36 pm Yeah, you are correct. I had to look at my 1869 Seated dollar. The label says "PCGS Genuine" and "Cleaned-F Detail" and the PCGS app pulls it up as "Genuine - Fine Details (92 - Cleaned)."

NumismaticsFTW Pillar of the Community United States 2280 Posts	Posted 04/17/2023 5:32 pm Do they post multiple codes on each slab, or if one superceded the other they use that?

jbuck Moderator United States 187446 Posts	Posted 04/18/2023 08:45 am They only put one code on the slab, in the spot where the numerical grade usually goes after the decimal point. In this case, 5481.92. 92 is the code for cleaning, which is used on both this slab and the one I have (had, I cracked it for the 7070). So the code is right (92), but the text is wrong on this slab. Mine said "Cleaned-F Detail" while this one says "Damage-VF Detail" Coin Collector Since 1978 Avatar Old Avatar 7070 Eisenhower Australia Canada World CCF Members on eBay CCF eBay Search Engine Report this Post to the Staff
