T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 12/22/2019 08:29 am All I see for a mint mark is a face with 2 eyes , one ear , a nose and a cigar hanging out of it's mouth . Some kind of reverse doubling going on or just shadows from light source . Report this Post to the Staff

merclover Bedrock of the Community United States 10635 Posts	Posted 12/23/2019 12:53 am Something's funny with the mintmark. I agree, cleaned. Can't give it MS. Report this Post to the Staff
one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 12/23/2019 07:53 am so what's the "tell" on cleaning here. I don't see any hairlines, so are you basing this just on muted luster? Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 12/23/2019 08:11 am Photos a bit grainy, and lighting is over powering the detail. Not sure I can tell about cleaning, looks more like a San Francisco Mint. Edit: I just noticed I have 4,000 posts after replying this post.

IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36880 Posts	Posted 01/02/2020 4:39 pm It has the dull look seen on coins cleaned with Baking Soda and water. Shinny but lifeless, no mint frost or chartwheel. Report this Post to the Staff
