I would say it was cleaned/polished at one point. There are minor hairline scratches on both the obv and rev.
George is also missing alot of hair details ( probably from the cleaning..but could be just from circulating )
IMO...definately not AU ( but it is a nice addition to any album being built from circulation coins )

Thanks Imo, And yes it was Polished Slightly before Pictures with a Swab and warm water.
When I clean some coins, I use a Swab, warm water, Gently clean in circular motion for 5 seconds, then I use other end of swab to Gently dry the coins. I NEVER use pressure when cleaning coins.
I hope I'm doing it right lol.. it got pretty Shiny ;) lol

Quote: I hope I'm doing it right lol.. it got pretty Shiny ;) lol you are doing a fine job if your intention is to have bright shiney coins in your collection. Alot of collectors prefer not to clean/polish their coins as they want to keep them "as natural as possible". Some collectors will even say a coin has lost some value when you clean it as any history it has gained was wiped away. ( If your coin is suffering from that green stuff that builds up over time then clean clean clean I say! If the dirt/residue is doing more damage than a slight clean would do..then clean it! ) Personally I don't clean any of my coins in fear of adding more scratches or even devaluing the coin. To each, his own. As I always say. ( whatever floats your boat )
