Collecting coins is not about having the best, but loving what you have ...

Trick question? Unc details (cleaned)?

64BN for me. These better coins can be very hard to pick.

Yeah it was a trick question, there's something right of the bust (lacquer/glue?) that's had an attempted removal with wiping. Otherwise this coin's got it all, great surfaces, smooth lustre, attractive colour, problem-free strike, quality planchet - I estimated it at MS65RB otherwise.

Do you think they'd still give it a grade as it doesn't look too bad

They won't grade it, if the damage from cleaning is beyond what would reasonably be expected from normal handling/circulation for the grade then it will no grade. Any sort of odd cleaning (removal of particular residue) can't reasonably expected to occur naturally at an MS level.

 The cert numbers haven't been downloaded on the PCGS site yet but although not the best photos but the top 2 outer coins would have graded MS65RD and the bottom right would be the MS65BN
 I'd say the top middle coin would be one of the coins that graded MS65RB

Here are a few of mine.
I took the images "full frontal" that really don't show the lustre but do show every little defect on the coins.
All these coins have great lustre but I recon MS64RB would be the best to expect ( I am Crap with grading coppers) :dash1:
