amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 07/18/2012 6:31 pm VF details . Polished.....too bad... Quote: What is the best way to tell if it has been cleaned.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36832 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 7:54 pm ANACS says EF-40? Guess I need to send coins to them. Report this Post to the Staff
Kman Pillar of the Community Canada 933 Posts	Posted 07/26/2012 8:03 pm I will post a pic once I get them back probably Tuesday next week. By the way the pictures didn't do this coin any justice what so ever, there wasn't a single mark on the reverse and just a tiny wear or weak strike in te hair. Report this Post to the Staff

Of course there aren't any marks. They've been polished away. Report this Post to the Staff
