As you can see (sorry about the poor quality images - need to work on this)it's pretty dirty and I cannot get a good handle on what it might grade at but I think it looks to be in pretty good condition. I know everyone says not to clean but would it help in this situation and if so how? The photo was taken through the plastic in the 2x2 holder. Thanks for your help! Report this Post to the Staff

You have a nice coin as is, looks to be VF-20/25 if it was taken out of the 2x2 may be able to tell much better. OH, and Welcome to the Forum..

aardspeed Pillar of the Community 921 Posts	Posted 01/02/2013 3:31 pm So would using ACETONE, dabbing only, not scratching left or right to remove the "smootz" on a coin be considered "cleaning it? Report this Post to the Staff
