So I bought a less than perfect 1999 serif 1 panda from my LCS, which had just taken the coin to Mish's Int'l. They're good buddies so Mish 'cleaned it up a bit.' I assume that this means he dipped it, since it now looks very shiny.
Is this coin actually gradable, or would that be a complete waste of time because it would be returned as ungradable? Although I am not interested in grading it, maybe a future buyer would be, so I'd like to know what to tell that person.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
