Nice LDS coin with rough fields and crack development. This coin is bright, void of complete luster, and has hairlines visible on reverse. Dipped and wiped. I don't see any wear, UNC details cleaned.

Certainly looks dipped to me as well, but a nice coin nonetheless.

Nothing looks askew at first look. No disturbances in the fields, date looks OK. Die cracks are hard to duplicate in cast counterfeits, too.

Real, AU details, dipped, as noted above. A shame -- I bet it had great surfaces before someone tried to "improve" the shiny.
The die cracks make it very interesting to me, personally.

Took some time but, finally received her today. Sellers photos were junk, I see no evidence of cleaning, wiping or dipping. I got lucky, she turns out to be a lovely looking piece, with great luster in hand. What grade would you give her now?   Thanks for looking. |

No coin of this era could have survived in blast white. I still vote dipped, whether it affects the grade or not.

I'll have to agree with the majority, AU 58 Details Cleaned, a TPG may give it the bump to UNC Details though. No doubt it's been over dipped, shame about the surfaces. |

the luster is gone and is more visible in your new photos . it gives you this dull look that is not original to the coin. there is no doubt the coin was over dipped as was stripped of its original surfaces. the coin may look shiny but you are not seeing original luster here. its a shame as this is nice higher end coin.
we are not trying to burst your bubble but when you have all of CCF members giving the same assessment, the chance its not cleaned is virtually nil. you have some very experienced folks here when it comes to this
