can a coin that has been dipped be sent in for grading by pcgs and if so will it come back with a ms cleaned grade . please let me know thank you

Depends on how harsh the dip was. Is the coin obviously dipped? Is the luster impaired? MANY Morgans are dipped and are then slabbed.

Somebody else might have a feel for the percentage of Morgans that have been dipped, but I suspect the percentage would surprise you.

PCGS does not place an indication of cleaned on their slabbed coins. ANACS and PCI will. It is very likely that if PCGS does not recognize that it has been dipped they will slab it. I purchased a 79-S high end MS65 from a fellow board member a couple of years ago and recently the coin has developed milk spots all over it (looks like crap). What is PCGS's responsibility in this case?

If PCGS agrees that the milk spots are cause for lowering the grade, they will make a financial settlement per their grade guarantee.

Dipping and cleaning are not the same thing--plenty of dipped coins are in ANACS holders, as well. PCI rarely notes damage anymore...

A Morgan that I sent in to PCGS came back in a body bag. The results were "harshly cleaned". However, it had tons of luster, cartwheel effect, etc., and didn't look dipped. Is it worth sending to NGC or ANACS?

Many harshly cleaned coins still have plenty of cartwheel and luster. Check it very carefully for hairlines that go up on to and over the devices.

Thanks, Russ.

So a coin that has been dipped or overdipped and had its "problems" and originality washed away would not be considered "cleaned" and have its value reduced?
