cownick Pillar of the Community Canada 677 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 4:05 pm I indeed this will be interesting. I have a couple with the same problem, nothing but the tone is not red. I can ask 100 dealers in the same room with the coin in hand and get a different grade every time. It still is a beauty. Most will say MS-62. even with no marks at all on it.

okiecoiner Pillar of the Community Canada 5589 Posts	Posted 08/16/2020 5:25 pm It looks MS wearwise, but the discoloration will take it to AU-50 something. Report this Post to the Staff
papeldog Pillar of the Community Canada 1923 Posts	Posted 08/20/2020 12:01 pm The coin was graded by NCG MS-63, I cut it out of the hard slab and sent it to PCGS we will see what their thoughts on the coin and colour of it will be I'm hoping it will grade the same MS-63 Report this Post to the Staff

IMO, An explanation (by any TPG) should include their grounds or proof for saying details or cleaned. Edited by 47P7 09/20/2020 12:51 pm Report this Post to the Staff

They also have an article on clean coins it tells some things but not what the reason for the call is. Report this Post to the Staff
