Krusti-Koin Valued Member United States 166 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 5:20 pm I can't decide if this is a cleaned and retoned half or not. If forced to answer, I would say it has not been cleaned, but I am unsure. Any thoughts on this (realizing that this shot is somewhat pixelated). Thanks! Report this Post to the Staff

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6399 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 5:54 pm Looks EF-40 or so for detail. Surfaces look pretty dull which would suggest the coin is not completely original. If it was cleaned it has retoned to a basically acceptable appearance. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 03/04/2015 8:04 pm Perhaps an old soap and water cleaning but it looks acceptable for problem-free to me. XF40 easily and a nice looking Civil War era piece. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

yhbearcats Pillar of the Community United States 688 Posts	Posted 03/05/2015 11:41 am I'm in at VF-35, and as others have stated, if it was cleaned it was done a long time ago, it was done very lightly and would be considered market acceptable as genuine Report this Post to the Staff
Krusti-Koin Valued Member United States 166 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 05:52 am Thanks to all of you for your comments, they are very helpful. I am going to try to buy this today. I think it is a nicely toned coin. The consensus here seems to agree. Thanks again, I feel more confident about this coin now. Report this Post to the Staff
