Hey Guys,

I picked up these coins a while back. I do not have the best camera, so bear with my photos.

The 1864 has a red/brown luster too it. Unc details, but a weak reverse.

The 1831 half has very fine details.

I wanted to know your opinion as to wether or not they are cleaned. Also, what do you guys think the grade would be if I sent these coins into NGC.

Thanks for your opinioin.

It's really tough to tell from those pictures. Try cropping down on just the coin so you can save them a little larger.

It looks like your 2C is a woody - that'd be a nice find!

My gut tells me they've seen a little bit of cleaning, but I don't want to sound too sure because I'm not.

You know that feeling when you snag a coin for a lot less than it's worth? THAT is what CoinSniper does.

Yes as noted a clearer and larger photo would help. BUT even then it is sometimes difficult to tell if cleaned if done a long time ago.
