Hmmmm, ACG actually labeled coin "cleaned"?

Placid

Maybe a clerical error

Looks like a nice coin still.

what made this one stand out beyond everything else they "slab" every day?

Mr Hagar was at a show I attended a week ago-the people who run this show are not the most ethical-a table fee was what was important-kept announcing that ACG was set up to grade at the show-only charging $5.95 on the spot. Every time ACG was announced, a ripple of laughter inundated the bourse floor-
I think I heard his slabbing machine run twice during the 8 hours I spent there. I loved it!

Yes, this "cleaned" slab gives all their other slabs 'credibility' for not being cleaned, otherwise they would be marked as cleaned.

Wow, that's really sad. What's sadder still is that the coin is a whole lot better looking than so many of their "original", "non-problem" ones. Wouldn't it be a hoot if it was an original, uncleaned piece? ROFL.

(I wouldn't hold my breath, though.)

LordM -- that was my thought too -- it actually looks like a fairly attractive coin. Do they have a sense of humor at ACG?

I also have an ACG slab that's labeled "cleaned". I claim it is the lowest-value slab in existance.

A 1929-S Lincoln, with that "pencil eraser" pink color, in an ACG VF Cleaned slab.

I'd risk 6 bucks and give him some counterfeit stuff... I have a very well done counterfeit seated quarter... he'd probably over grade its VFness into an original AU (and the black toning would deserve the RAINBOW(TM) label )
