Has it been cleaned or is it original? And what would be a fair price to pay for something like this? For some reason I love this bad boy. Report this Post to the Staff

mkman123 Pillar of the Community United States 3184 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 01:36 am hmmm, maybe dipped and starting to retone? Something like that I wonder why it wasn't slabbed unless there is some issues with it and so the person cracks it out. Also be careful of fakes Report this Post to the Staff
Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 02:44 am High AU. Lots of chatter on the reverse above the eagle.Don't know .... looks cleaned and re-toned to me. The fact that it is not slabbed has me suspicious. Still a lovely coin, better than many of mine. Report this Post to the Staff
muddler Pillar of the Community United States 7195 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 10:32 am It is a beautiful example of an early seated half. Nice toning, high AU coin that shows some halos around the stars noting an old cleaning. The price would be on the high end for a "problem" coin but the only problem I see is it's not in your collection yet. I would love to have it too. Report this Post to the Staff
murrellington Pillar of the Community United States 3276 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 4:51 pm Yeah I think it's beautiful, I just am not good at detecting cleanings, whether recent cleanings or an old one. I wouldn't want to add a problem coin to my collection. Anyone else think it's cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff

Either it should somehow be perfectly preserved - having been taken care of since Day One - or far more heavily-toned. Report this Post to the Staff
Moe145 Pillar of the Community United States 8904 Posts	Posted 11/16/2012 6:51 pm , an old cleaning. Not particularly harsh, IMO. NICE strike and beautiful color. (Maybe a bit over-priced though?) Edited by Moe145 11/16/2012 6:53 pm Report this Post to the Staff
