While nice looking, a before and after comparison would be much fun.

Agree with others: hard to answer when there is no reference point.

Not really sure what they are seeing in terms of cleaning from these pictures but TrueView often gives an inaccurate and distorted depiction of the actual coin. Do you have your own photos of the coins?

Sorry, I mis-read your original comment. You're saying these came back from PCGS marked as having been cleaned, right? I do know that iridescent coloring often raises re flags.

The Walker looks fine. The Peace dollar looks like it was dipped and retoned. They probably bagged it due to the carbon residue on the obverse. That's always a risk with a dip - the dreaded black spots. Guessing they felt the Walker was AT? Edited by fenton

 with fenton. The half looks original and the dollar looks dipped and retoned. Suffering from bust half fever. Want to learn how to attribute early half dollars by die variety? Click Here: http://goccf.com/t/434955Shoot me a PM if you are looking to sell bust halves. |

You're in an uncomfortable position here with two details slabs.

They don't look cleaned to me but both look artificially toned - although the TPGs tend to let that go a lot.

Both look beautiful. I wouldn't worry about the grade. Take them out of the slab and enjoy them.

I don't see obvious signs of cleaning. Take them out of the slab, they both have excellent eye appeal.

I agree I am questioning the cleaning? If it was a dip it looks well with in approved Market Grade. Toning maybe they thought it was artificial ? PCGS and TPG's can be so inconsistent to though. I am beginning to question there abilities to be consistent . I almost think PCGS is the worst because they are held in such high regard by so many collectors but that can be another thread and I am sure there are many. |
