If there are a lot of parallel scratches, then it is definitly cleaned. If it is just a lot of random scratches, then its just a lot of random scratches. If it wasn't for the scratches, it could go for AU. Its a nice $125 coin. What did you get it for? Report this Post to the Staff

I would give it almost AU but going with EF-45 at least. It may have been lightly cleaned at one time but still very nice. Report this Post to the Staff
