--Why would NGC assign such a remark?
Arizona Coin Collector
On your posting below. He is selling the coin
not slab (raw - ungraded).
The coin was rejected and returned not graded by
Numismatic Guaranty Corportion. Go to the link
shown below, look at Improper cleaning

You can also check out pages 5, and 10 of the PDF
file on why it was rejected.

IMPROPER CLEANING
If a coin is brushed or polished in any way,
this will cause damage to its surfaces, and
such a coin is said to be IMPROPERLY CLEANED.
Where such action is harsh, it will mar or
destroy the natural luster and leave a
scratchy, unnatural look. NGC will not grade
coins it considers to be harshly or
improperly cleaned.
Contaminant particles or spittle can result
in black spots appearing on a coin. Attempts
to remove these "carbon spots" through either
chemical or mechanical means may cause damage
to the coin. Such pieces will be returned
with the notation SPOT REMOVALS.
A WIPED coin is one that has been rubbed
with a dry cloth or other abrasive material,
leaving fine "hairline" scratches on its
surfaces. A BRUSHED coin will display similar,
but much heavier, abrasive lines.

It was returned as ungradeable by NGC. That label is usually in the flip
they send the coin back in(bodybag). So what the seller did is just put
both in a Coinworld holder thinking it would present better,maybe.
