Matteproof Pillar of the Community Korea, Republic Of 1881 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 10:52 am The "cleaning" doesn't bother me at all; I'd be happy to have that coin. The "cleaning" doesn't really detract anything from its eye appeal to me. Report this Post to the Staff
Spud Valued Member United States 308 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 12:48 pm Yes. It doesn't bother me either. I just didn't have any idea about the cleaning. And would like to be able to tell when a coin like this has been cleaned. I'm not experienced enough and am learning. Thanks everyone for the thoughts Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 05/23/2014 7:06 pm XF-details looks about right. The surfaces aren't "original" with a cleaning in the past making the raised portions of the design on the obverse and reverse lighter in color and more reflective than on a problem free coin.
