Rather than us reposting old photos if you use the search function on the top left of the page you will find countless threads about different cleaned coins.

Quote:How do you get the "zoom" function for an ebay listing? I haven't seen that before. Its under "Listing Upgrades",i think its included in "Picture Pack" but I haven't listed anything for a while.Anyway its free at the moment along with the extra Pics.Someone who is selling regulary can clarify it. |

i would have to say it has been cleaned to some extent because of the scratches on the fields of the obverse all suspiciously go in the same direction indicating cleaning but otherwise it is still a great coin who ever picked it up will be happy with it.

Beautiful looking coin
If its not a Chinese fake but genuine coin cleaned or not what is the real grade?

Have a look at this coin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-1915H-...em35bcc744cdThis coin looks to me to be harshly cleaned. I was astonished to see that it had been slabbed by PCGS as AU55. Whats going on? Are PCGS slabbing scrubbed coins now to increase their profits? |

Looks like it has honest circulation wear to me. Perhaps there are a few hairlines there but it doesn't look harshly cleaned.

Great looking shilling, a heap better than my sad looking 15H  I am certain that PCGS wouldn't slab a dodgy coin just to make an extra quid, Why would they risk their reputation like that. |

Yes I norticed the hairlines. I also noticed how the feilds look much rougher and duller than the legends. Is this circulation wear? |

This is the mint lustre marked up a little bit from bag marks and some circulation IMHO. An honest NOT cleaned EF+ in my book  |

I guess we have to trust slabbers with the grading is their any forgery slabs on the market?
