Coin Dealers & Collectors Often Struggle With These Coins 

I would say the only good thing about a cleaned coin is you can get a deal on it if it is a key date but still they are hard to sell or buy beyond spot and the fancy holder if they are common dates.

This is very valuable information, And yes I agree with you about these companies not being consistent! I generally disagree with many of the grades given to a lot of coins I've seen and owned. Weather it's the grades given, Over grading - Under grading Cleaned or not cleaned regardless of the overall appearance, Damage assigned to something that isn't there,ECT.. Which will always bring to question! Why even send something in to get graded when you're just going to take a chance and pay X amount of dollars to do so?? I see as a collector for over 4 decades I should have a pretty good idea of what is a certain grade a particular coin might be. And many times see this over and over again when grading companies give a coin a grade it shouldn't have.. As a collector I see only one benefit of getting a coin graded and that's to keep it preserved! Nothing else.. So far as buyers, dealers and collectors are concerned about what holder a particular coin is housed in a pay a certain amount just because it's a pcgs slab, well I guess they will be buying the slab as well. Me on the other hand,,I would just assume buy a piece RAW.. But unless you have years of experience in the ability to determine authentication, well there again, another advantage of getting your coin graded but take the risk of said above...

I know exactly what guy on eBay your talking about and that dude should not be able do what he's doing I bought a 1890 cc from him as problem free and it was in the pictures but when I got the coin it was rough and I way overpaid that's when I contacted him and noticed all of his pictures are doctored I had a hell of a time getting money back and it ended up costing me in the end, total scumbag!

Truth be told seems PCGS has been slipping over the past five years in quality control. As such it kinda seems as if old knowledgeable graders have retired and new Is unknowledgeable graders have taken they're places. I tend to agree with you here. Let's just say for me I'm personally refraining from sending any coins to PCGS and going straight to CAC for my coin grading needs. CAC is much cheaper , way less turnaround time , CAC is also way more harsh on grades of coins. Where PCGS at current date would grade a say 1891-CC at MS62PL Morgan dollar CAC would grade at AU58PL. CAC is in my opinion the best bang for your buck in both value and quality of graded coin.

Not considering cost of submission and membership

Definitely, they automatically turn a rainbow looking color

The new garage turns s awful pinkish color

To have a coin slabbed cleaned or not is actually up to the sender. PCGS, NGC and ANACS are providing a service to the customer. At time of submission the sender has the option to have coins that do not meet the cut put into slabs or in a body bag as we coin collector's call a soft plastic sleeve. Say the sender requests that if this or that coin doesn't grade at least lets say MS60 do not slab but if it grades MS60 or higher slab that coin. Unless the customer that submitted said coin requests not to slab a coin under certain grade PCGS , NGC and ANACS will always slab that coin. It's not up to the third party grading services to determine slab or not. It's literally left to the sender to make that call. PCGS , NGC and ANACS are providing a service to the customer. I hope this shines light on why this or that coin was slabbed and who makes the determination to slab or not. Best of luck and happy collecting.

That makes 2 of us...lol

Bulk submission you don't have them encapsulated unless they the lowest grade the submitter selected. I do know that most of these where a wing and a prayer when submitted. lol

The 1895 P is a proof only so you don't have to get that one.

@@CoinHELPu True, but most albums have a space for the 1895-P. There's a dealer in Newport, Oregon, who has had 2 low grade 1895-Ps. One was PR-04 and the other was PR-06. Even in those low grades I wouldn't be able to afford them.

It toned after it was cleaned.

Up to a 50% decrease.

Not always, there's a lot of coins like Binion Hoard coins that are worth more because of the history and most of those coins are common dates and mints,

I have all of that, but there’s always someone who still finds some fault in how I do anything. So I do it how I want. Like it or not. A microscope doesn’t cut down on glare anyway. I’ve tried that, the coins are inside plastic. Maybe you can do a video to show me how you do it?

@@CoinHELPu If my comment came off as an insult I apologize.

@@arkynative667 I didn't take it as an insult but I do all the video, editing, equipment, IT, all of it 100%, no help. I can't do any better than I do and I can and will make some mistakes. However, a scope isn't going to help with coins behind plastic. It's actually worse. I've tried everything. Thanks

@@CoinHELPu I've watched your videos for years and will continue. I very much appreciate the education I've gotten from them.

@@arkynative667 Thank you!!

Not if it results in too much chemical wear, the end result ends up being the same once the chemical cleaning can be seen with the naked eye.

You can’t restore a cleaned coin. Restoration is for removing contaminants and some toning only.

@@CoinHELPu i see. thank you

You can send an email list or ship them.

Unless it's better dates and mints I don't blame them, problem coins are a problem to get rid of. You wouldn't pay retail or pay normal price for problem coins yourself. I wish some of you, who make these comments, would open your own brick and mortar shop and try to be successful. You'd stop making some of these comments. I guarantee it or you would just go out of business.
