LaureateBust Valued Member Canada 331 Posts	Posted 11/01/2012 10:56 am I'm not sure if it's just the photos, but the patina looks to me like a coin that has been polished. That aside, it looks to have been cleaned, judging by the hairline scratches visible in the fields. I guess overall maybe EF details, polished or cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 3:45 pm Your coin has a bit too much light on it, to really give a good grade, and I don't think it has been cleaned just normal wear for a 60 year old coin. Report this Post to the Staff
secoinedchance Valued Member Canada 449 Posts	Posted 11/02/2012 5:49 pm Thanks shafta. I realize my photography leaves a little to be desired. I also think thats its easy to prequalify any attempt to grade a coin from a picture by assuming it's been cleaned. I have looked at this with a loupe and the minor scratches that are in the photo are from the plastic of the 2x2 holder that it's in. I will be reposting this picture without the holder and I have also taken steps to build my self a coin photo box made of flat black sign board so hopefully my dreadful photography improves.
