DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9877 Posts	Posted 03/12/2017 3:19 pm @flanders8008 It's near. Note the wide rims. The best secondary marker is the 9 in the date which you have cut off in all your pics. Note how far the tail of the 9 is from the denticle on NiNGCumpoop's coin, on the Near variety it will darn near touch the denticle. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Edited by DBM 03/12/2017 3:40 pm Report this Post to the Staff
