For 18, if you are okay with the cleaning, it's not a bad looking coin. The reverse toning will have multiple colors in hand, and does not look cleaned necessarily. It has some meat left, for sure.
I also disagree with what was said about ICG. If you are looking at circulated coins, especially "details" coins, I think ICG has done a pretty good job with their consistency. All bets are off for Choice examples and Uncirculated material. Those require a good eye.

Yea I think they do a pretty good job on grading like you said on the ms65 and up I would be Leary especially on morgan dollars.
A coin to be avoided. The obverse has been harshly cleaned. For coins like that the price needs to be more than "reasonable" it needs to be just plain cheap.

For what it is, yes

Net Graded from 35 IMHO.
40 was my WAG.....must have been down graded due to cleaning.

Do you think 18 is a good deal? I think its not to bad.
It's not often that ICG gets one right.
18 is ok if that discoloring on the reverse is not environmental damage. Not for me.

30 Details looks like a fair assessment for that coin. Not one I would purchase, but the price seems reasonable. Cheers, RickO
Thanks

I'd pass due to the cleaning. To me it's worth the value of the silver in it is all.

Seems decently graded. I'd pass
I like these kind of coins even though they have been cleaned.
