KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 1:34 pm Yes, another "cleaned" question. When a coin looks very dull, that is "cleaned" often but this one looks very mirror like. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 1:52 pm IMHO these photos don't provide enough evidence that this coin has been cleaned . Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 2:03 pm OK, here are two more pics. Different coin. I like it. But is it cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 2:13 pm OK, sorry, 3rd set of pictures, different coin. Any comments appreciated. I like this coin as well. Note the wear on her thigh though, it's kind of chewed up. Report this Post to the Staff
hcmusicguy Pillar of the Community United States 814 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 2:24 pm I'd actually say it looks pretty original. Nice coin! [EDIT] Totally didn't get that these were 3 different coins. Second and third look fine. First is difficult to tell. Edited by hcmusicguy 04/19/2018 3:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5689 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 2:48 pm First coin is too dark to tell. Sometimes a mirror finish can indicate a polished coin. The second and third coins look okay, with no obvious cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4473 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 3:08 pm 1) 43, does not appear cleaned but could have light scratches in the field. 2) 45 does not appear cleaned 3) 45 pass on coin find one that is not chewed up. Photos do not always give you information that a coin has or has not been cleaned. Often you will need to see the coin in hand to make the final judgement on cleaning. The coin posted below has been cleaned note the hairlines in the field: Same coin different lighting and slight change in camera angle. Note the hairlines from cleaning are gone.

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 04/19/2018 7:26 pm Sound advice throughout. These common date walkers are easy to find in EF-AU for very reasonable prices. They are one of the toughest types to determine cleaning from photos. A LCS or show would have a LOT of them, I'm sure, that you could view in hand. Report this Post to the Staff
