I'm going with Whizzed on this one for such a nice looking coin the edges are not as sharp as they should be look at the bands in the middle... My guess is dremmill and a felt wheel.
Mercs are a bear to shoot properly. Even in DejaVu, I can't see enough information to decide why PCGS gave that status. Heck, they could have seen toning at the two points on the rim where tongs held the coin while it was being dipped.
Ha. Didn't even think of the shooting aspect Dave. It appeared to have all it's original luster so I was hesitant to say dipped. We also don't have it in hand either.
If they can tell it's cleaned, why don't they list it on the slab, other than just .92? A description of the damage or even a letter code for the type of cleaning done would help me make up my mind as to the value of the coin.
