RK55 Pillar of the Community United States 2189 Posts	Posted 08/26/2014 8:30 pm VF-25, looks like it was cleaned at some point and is re-toning. there is still some evidence of darkness left showing in the letters and stars on the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 12:56 am VF cleaned. The sheltered portions (ie the 8 & 4 in the date & E,R,M & A on the reverse border) are a different (darker) color in areas couldn't be easily cleaned. Look at the top vs. bottom portion of the H & F in "HALF", those are pretty obvious indicators. Edited by CopperCastle 08/27/2014 12:58 am Report this Post to the Staff

westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9796 Posts	Posted 08/27/2014 04:27 am VF30 sounds about right detailed possible for the old cleaning, I like the toning colors the way it appears now probably looks a lot better than right after the old cleaning did. Looks like a lot of clashing visible on the reverse too. "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!
