echizento Moderator United States 23731 Posts	Posted 06/26/2009 2:12 pm Excellent lustre and really nice looking coin. I would grade this as VF-35, because of the wear above the eye and along the hair line below the cap. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 06/27/2009 11:46 pm I agree with echizento's comments about the obverse being VF35 but the reverse looks 45 easy. I imagine this coin was cleaned years ago and has re-toned nicely. Should make EF40 overall and it has an appealing appearance. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
KyKev New Member United States 45 Posts	Posted 06/28/2009 1:36 pm Thanks for the input. Could you elaborate on what the indications of cleaning are on this coin? The only thing "suspicious" I can see is the lack of irridescence around 50C. Thank you Kevin Report this Post to the Staff

Look at the areas close to the devices. I see signs of contaminants that are totally absent in the fields and on the high points of the design. To me that indicates an old cleaning because the coin is toned. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
