 Quote:wondering what this grade is all about and or value I never cleaned this coin it was inherited from my grandfather Being new you will notice over time the questions you ask sometimes get lost. As to this coin being cleaned. Yes you probably never did but way, way back in the good old days, people used to clean coins all the time. Usually they would spit on a coin then rub it to make it look newer. If you collected coins way back, most people you showed them to would say something like "Oh they are so dirty, why don't you clean them so they shine". And we all did. I would think your grandfather was from the era I came from so cleaning coins was normal. |

lol why would you need your glasses fixed I originally posted that it was an IGC slab. I saw a new IGC slab at the flea market today that looked almost exactly like that one. When I looked at it again after posting, Irealized it was ANACS not IGC. I must be looking through y loop a bit too much lately. |

If you are referring to ICG instead of IGC and they are in fact a true TPG (ICG is) and are very good with classic coins, its the moderns they seem to have a real problem with. Since your lst post says their slabs looked like this one then I really doubt it could have been ICG because ICG slabs look nothing like any other companies slabs |

You sent it to ANACS for their opinion and you got it. They say it was cleaned chances are it was at some time.
One of the "risks" of getting a coin slabbed. They must have seen fine scratches under magnification or more likely
what appears to be unnatural color or surface in their opinion.
Looks like an awful nice coin to me from here.

the color looks way of from my view, the reflectivity is so unnatural, it has at least altered color

He told me that it stood for Integrity Grading Company. He then explained it was only $10 per coin to get graded, and it was the only company he would deal with anymore. I just shrugged my shoulders and walked away. The label looked very similar. It was mustard yellow with a black logo in the bottom right corner with a triangle positioned above the letters "IGC". I had never seen one before today. He had about 50 coins in similar slabs. |

The label looked very similar. I think most basement slabbers will make their holders look like reputable ones, hoping someone buys them thinking they are PCGS, NGC, or ANACS. |

it means that it would have been a MS-60 coin, but because its cleaned, they gave it a details grade. so if it were not cleaned, it would be an MS-60 coin(give or take a point or two)

Crack it and put it in your album.  MS details means it techically shows no wear. It is a mint state coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!VERDI-CARE™ INVENTOR https://verdi.care/
