14ers Valued Member United States 230 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 10:31 pm I say barely a Fine.... F-12 and agree with the harsh cleaning. That part is a shame because it is a nice coin without any other detracting damage. Report this Post to the Staff
Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 10/10/2012 10:36 pm After playing with the brightness and contrast in photoshop, it looks very close to this in-hand. Maybe it had a cleaning at one time, but the color is the exact same as you would find in a circulated LWC. Report this Post to the Staff
Scropper CCF Sponsor United States 702 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 5:05 pm I'm at 15/20 for wear and if it's that dark that's a corroded coin, not a cleaned one. If it was as light in hand as the first scan, it would definitely be improperly cleaned. Fine details net 8 for me. Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36841 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 5:41 pm Looks Fine-15 to me. No sure if it was cleaned or the color was just off in the photos. Report this Post to the Staff
TJsCoins Pillar of the Community United States 3229 Posts	Posted 10/11/2012 8:55 pm F-VF. Nice large cent! My 1817 LC doesn't look as nice as yours. The reverse looks like someone removed some gunk. I do not see cleaning on the obverse; just wear. Report this Post to the Staff

Drsandman2 Pillar of the Community United States 1374 Posts	Posted 10/12/2012 03:38 am Hehe, I won't be scanning any more coins, lol. There is no pitting or corrosion on this coin at all, even under 60x. In fact, I can only see the verdigris in LIBERTY in the scan. Thanks for the input everyone! Report this Post to the Staff
