Here's a 1859 IHC I just picked up a few days ago...curious about grading on this one and if anyone thinks it may have been cleaned.

Thanks

VF25, may go 30. Does not appear cleaned at first glance.
Looks like a diamond visible.

Despite the normal surfaces of the CuNi IHCs, it doesn't obscure the details seen such as:
Full LIBERTY, full headband, hair/ribbon separation and even a diamond visible!
It's an EF40 coin at least, maybe "details" grade if cleaned...but I won't call that on pics alone.

I would grade this coin VF because of the diamonds and Liberty, there is wear on the leaves and the bow on the reverse but overall there is too many details to grade it any less,IMO. It looks like it might have some micro-porosity.

I would say VF-25, nice details, but it appears to be damaged. There are 3 dents on the obverse. Can't tell if it's been cleaned, nothing obviously says to me cleaned, but I would need to see better pictures that show accurate color.
Rest in Peace

I don't see an RPD, but I see the knocks on the bust...I'm going to revise my grade to VF30.
