Body bag question

Hi David,
If a body bagged coin is marked cleaned, does that mean it has been authenticated prior to evaluating for a grade?
Reason I ask is there is an Ebay seller who claims his body bag paperwork means PCGS has authenticated the coin (which appears altered in this case, as discussed in another thread)
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
We would have a tendency to say "counterfeit" before we said "cleaned." But if a coin is harsely cleaned, we might not look that close for authenticity. Our guarantee of grade and authenticity only applies to coins in our holders...not body bags.
Thanks,
David
