Do you think my coin is woefully lacking in luster?


From the photo as noted some the luster was removed by the cleaning. I would need to see the coin in hand to better evaluate the luster quality.

I avoid buying detail coins because they can be hard to resell. It appears that you have first hand experience on trying to resell cleaned coins to a dealer and getting a fair price.

Well, I may be returning the one from GSC then. Don't know. It wasn't that expensive, but we'll see.

I haven't been able to find the "rate my coin" thread.

If a coin has toning on it, does that imply it hasn't been cleaned and is thus safe?

Or can it tone after a cleaning, eventually and be kind of the worst of both worlds.


A coin can tone after a cleaning or a dip. The toning on a cleaned coin can hide the cleaning marks. In TPG holders, you can see some coins that have toning that are noted as being cleaned.
