Seems ALL your coins are cleaned. There is no "professional" coin cleaner! Cleaning does NOT add value, it decreases value. Coins build up patina from use and it's easy to see if they are cleaned. Yes, cleaning makes them shiny but cleaning leaves marks on the coin that quickly decreases value. If shiny is important to you, fine, they are your coins, but if you ever want to sell them, cleaning trashes value. An honest, uncleaned coin is ten times more valuable than clean shiny one. Cleaning is bad news.
I recommend that if you really want to learn about your newly acquired coins and their grades, buy the " Red Book of United States coins." You can read about your coins histories and grading differences and value. Collecting coins is fun, but you have to take some time to learn about them.
You can have a coin "conserved" by a professional like PCGS or NGC,but the retail value needs to exceed the costs involved in having it conserved. Your coins are not worth the exspence.IMHO. John1
Interesting. Appears to show a trace of lamination peel on Jefferson's cheek, running horizontally. Not saying it is for sure (not having the coin in hand).
