bullreed New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 04:55 am I'm new to these forums as well as to coin collecting in general and thought some of you could give me some thoughts and help on grading this LWC. Any insight is much appreciated! I hope the pictures turned out well I just bought the cheap point and shoot tonight after reading some of the photographing threads here.

bullreed New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 05:13 am Thanks for the welcome! How can you tell it's been cleaned? I just bought the ANA standards grading book hopefully that will help me out. I appreciate the quick reply Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 05:29 am It has a dull look to it and the color isn't right. Also the darker areas around the letters is a sign of bad cleaning. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
bullreed New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 05:42 am Thanks, John. I did notice the darker areas I just wasn't sure the cause. Report this Post to the Staff

Telestrat27 Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 09:42 am Cleaned, AU details. Don't sweat it too much, though, a 1930 is not a particularly rare coin, nor tough to get in AU/MS if you're seeking the same for your collection. Welcome to the forum! Report this Post to the Staff
bullreed New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 09:59 am Thanks for the grades, yeah I figured I'd spend "pennies" learning before I start investing money in bad coins. It cost a nickel, so I can learn without taking a hit to the wallet. Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19964 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 7:36 pm Smart! Learn to spot those problem coins because there's a ton of them out there. Like Tele said, these are relatively cheap in MS grades, so you won't have a problem replacing it when the time is right. Lincoln Cent Lover!

bullreed New Member United States 7 Posts	Posted 02/28/2013 8:13 pm For the record my personal thoughts were XF-45, I totally missed on it being cleaned. I know to look for scratches / swirls but I missed on this coin when it was so blatant to all of you. Report this Post to the Staff
