cazzuey Valued Member Canada 367 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 10:37 am Hey folks, I just wanted to ask you if this coin has been cleaned? I'm awful at spotting a cleaned coin but I had my suspicions about this one. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...t_2693wt_698 Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 11:37 am I too am not the best in detecting a cleaned coin but I did notice one small problem with this coin. Cleaned or not somehow the S mint mark fell off. It is a nice possibly Ef to AU coin but you would have to add your own S mint mark on the reverse. Don't we all wish it was a 14S in that condition for that starting price? OR could this be a hidden S so no one would take it off? Report this Post to the Staff

delaner Pillar of the Community United States 870 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 11:37 am Hm... I may not be the right guy to answer this, but I wouldn't say "harshly cleaned" but perhaps dipped? It's lovely anyway, but the surface doesn't look... "right". Kinda too good to be true? Which is probably why you're asking! Wish I could help more! Report this Post to the Staff

upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3283 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 1:49 pm Just so happens the '14s carries a bit of a premium over the '14. What a strange consequences Report this Post to the Staff
