ContraJame Valued Member United States 292 Posts	Posted 03/01/2012 7:43 pm Yea...they're obviously cleaned. I was just wondering how. My guess was acid dip that only removed patina at the center followed by a scrub which you can see clearly in both the toned and untoned areas. Report this Post to the Staff

FlipOfACoin Valued Member 474 Posts	Posted 03/02/2012 8:55 pm How does the seller keep a 100% feedback when they have made no effort to relay the problems with this coin (or the others they have listed?) I would be willing to wager a shiny, new penny their modus operandi is listing problem coins without an honest description. "View the image and judge for yourself" is a cop-out that does nothing to educate or warn the beginning collector. Report this Post to the Staff
westcoin Pillar of the Community United States 9792 Posts	Posted 03/07/2012 2:43 pm Looks like a rough scrub with baking soda to me. Agreed too big of a problem coin, I wouldn't want it for what he is asking, maybe half that, even then? "Buy the Book Before You Buy the Coin" - Aaron R. Feldman - "And read it" - Me 2013!

Bryan1315 Bedrock of the Community United States 14454 Posts	Posted 03/08/2012 09:09 am it may have been scrubbed awhile ago and started to retone now. I am guessing that is what you are asking, how it got scrubbed like that and yet still has toning around the edges Report this Post to the Staff

Simple. Anyone ignorant enuf to buy such a piece of crap is going to be tickled when he gets it. Any knowledgeable collector won't buy it to start with. Report this Post to the Staff
