Have you ever noticed a cleaned coin in a top TPG holder without a "details" notation? I've seen a few older coins, early 1800s, where the cleaning seemed evident (it helps to take them outdoors on a sunny day). Do the top grading companies (not talking about any TPG companies below the top tier) give older coins a pass for cleanings that would put a modern coin in a body bag?

What would they do if you brought the cleaning to their attention?

My opinion is that they go easier on older coins. I have seen some with a huge gash, cleaning, artificial toning, and everything else that was in a problem free slab.
