My dear wife (bless her heart) knew I was looking for a reasonably nice, high-grade circulated '28 Peace Dollar. She managed to win this one:

It came today and looks OK, but has, in fact, been cleaned, but with no hairlines evident. The bulk of my almost completed set is AU to low MS. I suppose this coin will 'fit' alright with the rest. My question is, how does cleaning affect grade? If the details are consistent with a particular level, does a cleaning reduce the assessment to some point below that observed state?
Thanks in advance for any comments.

It is one of the worst things that can happen to your coin
Right next to giant scratches.
But some people do like them that way.

PCGS will, in fact, grade coins that have been lightly cleaned. It depends on the amount of cleaning. David Hall stated this recently in the Q&A forum. You may take a chance at PCGS before trying, say, ANACS (best slab for problem coins). If PCGS slabs her, I would say she is AU53. If not, ANACS would probably grade her AU details, cleaned, net XF45.
