    I assume the coin is still in the NTC slab.

    Who the <bleep> cleans Sacagawea dollars? That's just weird.

    Also a reason why you always crack-'em-out. An NTC coin is 3 pts. behind the grade before the grader has even looked at the coin.

    I guess that somebody whizzed the coin to give it a better appearance in the slab originally?

    What in the hell did you expect buying an NTC coin!!!! Next thing is trying to cross an (Ewwwww) AGC coin!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    Maybe one of those 'burnished' dollars?

    Marty- done that. I had a regular issue 1965 Kennedy in an ACG MS69 holder that crossed into PCGS MS66 SMS. The SMS part killed me. I really thought it was a business strike.

    TRUTH: I went the Burnished route too, but it's a no go when you get a closer look.
    I don't really see the cleaning but also don't see any evidence of burnishing.

    Any slabbed U.S. coin after 1964 gives me the willies....

    P.S. I whizzed "on" a modern coin once.

    OK I still have alot to learn but cannot "cleaned" be an overdipped coin? or maybe dipped in the wrong solution? Something that affects the surface enough or so much that it is no longer original?

    I'm sure the owner/graders of NTC would remember that Sac dollar and say it was "just fine". Maybe Crito can bring this coin to their attention also.

    I'd have to believe something Braddick has to say first.

    NUmistrust = YOUmistrust

    Oh well...that's too bad, Pat.

    I took a chance awhile back on an MS-66 Long Island in a You-mistrust holder. I got it for 63 money and figured it had to be at least that. WRONG! It didn't take five seconds after removing it from the mailer to see that the surfaces were altered. Back it went.

    Cheers,

    Bob

    Now break it out and send it in raw (watch it get slabbed).
