drdave Pillar of the Community United States 721 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 08:50 am Picked this up a few months ago, seller had it at VG 8. Why do you say its been cleaned? How can you tell? Please educate me so I can look out for this in the future. I'm not unhappy with this purchase as it replaced an AG3 I had before. Thanks for your input. Report this Post to the Staff
upstate Pillar of the Community United States 3278 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 7:40 pm Quote: Why do you say its been cleaned? A couple of aspects give me this opinion. First the color appears unnatural and has the washed out appearance seen with cleaning. Also the dirt (darkness/patina) which is normally around and along the devices on a coin with this amount of handeling(wear) is missing on the obverse. This really jumps out at me as cleaned. The reverse still has traces of the original gunk that probably covered much of the coin but you can see channels where it was washed away, most evident around 1 and 3 o'clock between the rim and leaves. Just my opinion and certainly doesn't make the coin worthless. It's not all scratched up like more harshly cleaned coins and that's a good thing also any FEC is a good FEC. And I could be wrong Report this Post to the Staff

vermontensium Moderator United States 16677 Posts	Posted 04/09/2013 8:02 pm The reverse field is almost a dead giveaway of a past cleaning albeit not harsh. G6 Details as well. swcoin.ecrater.com Report this Post to the Staff
