jeffrose Pillar of the Community United States 1432 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 11:21 am Ron but will defer to the experts opinions - if they feel it is cleaned I hope they explain why Report this Post to the Staff

D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 01/07/2012 2:01 pm I am not sure if it is cleaned from those pictures but I am leaning a bit more towards cleaned than not. In some of pictures the coin looks a bit pale when it should be a nice chocolate brown. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 09:27 am Nice looking coin. I usually find it odd that a coin that old has so little dirt wedged inbetween letters and numbers. Appears to have been cleaned but a long time ago giving it a chance to look no cleaned.

Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6381 Posts	Posted 01/09/2012 10:22 am I don't see any hairlines but the color does suggest the surfaces are not quite original. There also seems to be a touch of wear, most noticeable on the high points of the wreath. Based on the final auction price of $137 the ebay bidders agreed it was either a cleaned Unc or a mostly original AU. It would probably look just fine in a type set. Report this Post to the Staff
