Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 02/20/2008 3:42 pm We need a picture! My guess is that no reputable TPG will slab a coin with a thick layer of dirt, grease, paint, or any other obvious contaminant. If the coin has any value, you certainly wouldn't want to seal it up in a slab together with the dirt. Sometimes you have to clean a coin, at least to the extent of soaking it in some water and rinsing off the crud. If you post a picture you'll probably get a lot of advice....

I've seen coins that were slabbed my NGC and others that had some dirt on it, mainly around the letters or numbers. Report this Post to the Staff

leprecoin Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 07/20/2008 6:29 pm what do you mean by dirt ? soil ? corrosion ? patina ? discoloration ? is it ancient coin ? questions questions... most likely they wont grade it and you may or maynot get a note say something about PVC even is not pvc. there's many ways to remove the "dirt" some will body bag the coin, some are legit...
