This one has been harshly cleaned but still has some amazing detail. I'm planning on using it as a pocket piece for a few months in the hopes that some honest circulation will help it out. I'm only into this for $.045, so I'm not too worried.   Edited by scotty11

Hi Scotty, I don't think using it as a pocket piece is going to help it, my thought is, it will probably make it worse dinged up etc, I would put it on the window sill for a few months and let it tone. It doesn't look that bad now, EF-45 at least, just can notice the light scratches... but, then again I need new glasses..  |

I'd say it's about an XF as is.

I'm in need of new glasses myself SHAFTA9a, and I have only myself to blame for not having a pair....it's what I do for a living.  I know that using it as a pocket piece will bring it down a grade or two. Some of the scratches from the cleaning are really noticeable using a loupe though. I'm going to let it rattle around with some other coppers for awhile...and then let it sit in my window sill. |

No to the pocket idea,ever. Pure Vaseline and rub with thumb as often as possible; leave in window on a piece of oak or elm with the vaseline on.  |

For four cents...nice find. I like your plan as it looks to have MS details.

3 months of random pocket wear so far. It's been banging around against my car keys, some random copper memorials, and my Morgan pocket-piece.   |

Big difference. it looks like it had been cleaned pretty harsh but really toned down a lot. i'd like to see a closer shot of the coin to see how the hairlines look

Still looks cleaned, keep it in your pocket for another year.
