I Think "Cleaned" Is An Understatement

I don't think it was that shiny when it was made! Sad.....

In its own peculiar way, its a bit of a work of art.

Hopefully, a common date.

There not bad prices for pocket mirrors.

It would be kind of cool to have one of these as a novelty. Only on a common date though and on a coin where the date isn't already worn/polished off already. Mabye on a coin with an ugly mark or bad stain on it that makes it undesired. I would NEVER want this done to a rare date or on a common coin that looks good already. I wouldn't pay much for one of these though (certainly not anywhere close to an uncleaned example)

wow, I wonder what the point of doing that was.

I have a small bag full of old NFLD large cents that have one side very obviously chemically cleaned, as in this case. It's sad really, as the coins are in lovely shape otherwise.

Secondly, I allowed my mother to use a silver jewelry cloth on a 1967 Lynx quarter I have had for years that had some ugly tarnish on it, and I actually like the results.

$4.25?

Doesn't cover the cost of a pound of cheese, nor a pound of bacon.
Barely covers a loaf of bread.
A pound of chopped beef. Not in your life!
Food or coins? Tough decision!
