These were my four "free" submissions to PCGS:
1916-d Mercury-------cleaned (ouch
)
1921 Mercury----------damage (another ouch)
1921-d Mercury-------G-4 (exactly what I expected)
1945-s Walker--------MS-64 (was expecting a 63
)
Obviously I have a long way to go on my grading skills. Had I waited and read these boards a little more I may have been able to identify the cleaning on the 16-d.

send it to NCS!!!!
Russ, NCNE
Had it not been genuine I probably would have had more than a sad face posted. I probably wouldn't be able to see through my tears to post the results.
<< <i>at least your 16d is genuine!
send it to NCS!!!! >>
My thoughts exactly... I'd personally send it to ANACS... they will at least assign a net grade to show the extent of the cleaning.

NCS does not give a net grade.
Cameron Kiefer
let NCS put VG details.........cleaned on it and leave it at that. Let the next person that buys the coin decide for his/herself to what extent THEY feel the cleaning affects the price.
NCS all the way for problem coins!!!!!
<< <i><< they will at least assign a net grade >>

Which might be why Jeremy suggested Anacs.
Russ, NCNE
It will cost you 12.00 I think plus shipping to have that slabbed/graded.
They will grade the coin and then note the problem. They will not "net" grade it. That is one thing I really dislike about ANACS.
Cameron Kiefer
Don't do the 6.00 option. All they will put on the slab is GENUINE
list it on ebay and let her fly! Then pick up a nice ANACS/NGC/PCGS one
I'm not a fan of problem coins either.
When the PCGS graders see a coin that is - cleaned/whizzed, damaged, questionable toning, PVC damage, questionable authenticity -> what does the bodybag say when returned?
Your first submission did better than my first submission for the $99 free 4 submissions.
1835 half -> questionable color
1864 2-cent -> altered surfaces
1900-O dime -> cleaned
1999-D SBA !!!yippee!!! MS67

Cameron- I was referring to ANACS... I chose ANACS over NCS so he would get the net grade
Getting the 1916-D Mercury back from PCGS in a bodybag for cleaning does not deal with authenticity - does not mean it is or is not (according to HomeRunHall in Q & A forum)
There are enough people on the board here who can tell by the D placement whether it is authentic or not - can you get good photos/blow-ups of the board.
Nothing worse than paying $15-40 for an opinion on authenticity when you can get it for free
