CoinCollector2012 Pillar of the Community United States 8137 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:02 pm I think that it is cleaned. I can't tell if it's real or not though. Edited by CoinCollector2012 01/25/2015 5:03 pm Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/25/2015 5:16 pm Looks real. but definitely cleaned. the mint mark is just worn and scabby looking like the rest of the coin. This is only my opinion. Report this Post to the Staff

buddy16cat Pillar of the Community United States 1536 Posts	Posted 01/26/2015 05:36 am I wouldn't open that can of worms that it is coins because it is a way to devalue it. Cleaning detection is hard, unless it is obvious but many think they can detect it. Many times there are things that cause a coin to look clean like it being carried in someone's pocket like people did with circulated coins or copper coins being left in the sun. Of course there are instances where it is obvious like systematic tool marks or a jewelery seller sends you coins that turned orange right before they sent them.

Celticsoul Pillar of the Community United States 1566 Posts	Posted 01/26/2015 07:40 am I wonder if it's been cleaned or just really worn and beat up. At this grade does it matter if it's been cleaned? I don't think so. I'm just playing devil's advocate. Edited by Celticsoul 01/26/2015 07:41 am Report this Post to the Staff
denco7 Pillar of the Community United States 2543 Posts	Posted 01/26/2015 08:00 am You really need to take a magnified look at the mint mark. These coins are notorious for having the "s" soldered on after the fact. And some are very well done and some not so much. The build up of gunk around the mint mark looks like a sign of cleaning or it could be added in an attempt to hide the solder gap. Report this Post to the Staff
