NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5178 Posts	Posted 12/16/2020 09:46 am I wonder why NGC graded this coin as XF40. It looks Details (= cleaned) to me. Am I missing something? https://www.NGCcoin.com/certlookup/5864198-042/40/ Report this Post to the Staff

BigSilver Pillar of the Community United States 2843 Posts	Posted 12/16/2020 10:08 am Looks like you are using NGC's photo of the coin (can be found on their website). My findings are that NGC's pics make everything look cleaned. Must be something with the lighting. Unless you see the coin in hand, you cannot judge. Report this Post to the Staff
Rothery Pillar of the Community 2145 Posts	Posted 12/16/2020 1:46 pm True, NGC and especially PCGS sure seems to enhance their photos. Take a look at some PCGS toned coin pics and then compared to them "In hand" Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6384 Posts	Posted 12/17/2020 04:13 am If the NGC photos are that bad then so's my opinion. However, this coin does look cleaned and even the numerical grade seems generous. Report this Post to the Staff
