It does appear to be messed with and is likely an AU+ coin that's been worked on in hopes of selling it as MS. I could be wrong, and often am, but that's what I see from here.

Variety aside, I would grade it mid-AU details (cleaned).

I haven't heard of that one either, but what surprises me is that the "DONT clean coins" campaign has been around forever, and unless you trying to rip off new collectors, there is no point in doing it, as the TPG will catch it. |

I'm not understanding reverse denticles , obverse rim from 1-5:00 and the 2 in date looks weird . Coin also looks cleaned .  Edited by T-BOP

If it stays cheap enough, I'll have a look.

I dug a little deeper into the description, and he does cop to a cleaning, but not with ketchup LOL Quote:Here we have one very nice 1862 Indian Head cent. This coin has been polished. The coin is in raw uncertified condition and is a very nice coin. Please look at the scan and grade the coin for yourself as this is the actual coin you will receive. |

Same results if you use mayonnaise,have you heard of that one? I know this is Labor Day weekend, but IMHO hot dogs with ketchup or mayo taste much better than IHCs with ketchup or mayo. |

A ketchup and mayo mix should only be used to clean Russian coins.... |
