Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 08:53 am I lean toward 45 sharpness, but agree it was cleaned at one point. Report this Post to the Staff

Suomi Valued Member United States 100 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 1:05 pm Is the cleaning really bad enough to give it a details grade? Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 1:11 pm EF40 details. The clasp is not sharp enough for 45. There are also flatter hair details than 45. Definitely a past cleaning. This is an O-102 R1. Report this Post to the Staff
Susanlynn9 Forum Mom United States 5877 Posts	Posted 11/12/2019 1:15 pm I think it would detail grade because of the patina. Sometimes these coins can eke through to straight grade even with a past cleaning, but I don't think this one will. Report this Post to the Staff
