This coin is cleaned and would not obtain a mint state 63 from any reputable grading service. You can see wear on all high points of the design, and then some. The "fuzzy" appearance is from all the tiny cleaning lines all over it's surface, giving the coin an apprearace of luster.

Image
This coin is also cleaned and has a great amount of wear, you can tell by the flat and rounded surfaces, and you can see the lines where it has been cleaned. The coin wouldn't even grade AU let alone mint state 65.

Another cleaned and circulated coin falsely graded as mint state.

ImageImage
This coin might make AU50, but again, it has been cleaned. Cleaning a coin by etching or scratching the surface or dipping lowers the value of the coin.

I advise anyone not to buy coins graded like this, put these people out of business, force them to be honest about their own coins. If no one bids on their coins then it might teach them that collectors have become educated graders, and that they must accept what everyone else get's for their cleaned coins.

Visit my Morgan Dollar grading page to look at pictures of actual MS65, non-cleaned Morgan Dollars look like Grade Morgans By Pictures

Thank you for posting all of these. I agree, they are a very poor company, and I believe that they clean their own coins, in an attempt to justify the over inflated grade. I'm surprised that the local dealer who they grab the coins in his junk bin from, hasn't gotten suspicious by now. I don't buy their junk, and I don't support them. Stick with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd tier companies, not self slabbers. I just wish I could do more.

Just an added note that this guy/company (whichever) also is selling coins
on eBay with slabs that display the "CNG" initials as well. I haven't seen
any coins on eBay lately from INB.
