My question is, how does a top tier grader like PCGS miss a cleaned coin? Are there any exceptions where a cleaned coin is allowed without a details grade. And finally what is leading you to believe that the coin has been definitively cleaned? Thank you.

@rum, all the hairlines on the coin and unnatural luster and patina. As for PCGS they have no excuse.

This is the coin in thus thread.  This is what PCGS says an AU53 coin ought to look like.

I don't think you can generalize from 1 photo (of a different date) what PCGS thinks an AU-53 coin looks like.

that is the PCGS photograe plate coin for the au53 grade. why does it matter if it's a different date? do grades differ by date for the same coin design and series?
