Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 8:47 pm I saw this coin on ebay and looked, and looked and looked at it. In the end I couldn't pull the trigger and bid because I couldn't be sure if it's original or has been cleaned and retoned. It looks to have faint hairlines, but I don't know if they're from circulation or cleaning. What do people think? Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff

coinaddict1795 Valued Member United States 301 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 11:13 pm I also agree. The toning around the eagles wings is the tell for me. Looks like sulfer toning. Good call on skipping this one. Report this Post to the Staff

Looking at the completed listing shows it sold for problem-free VF30 money - not out of line for what it is but I wouldn't have bought it for $180. I would search for a problem-free VF+ piece with good eye appeal. They are available regularly for this date/series at under $200. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Paul Bulgerin Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 10/29/2014 11:28 pm Thanks for the replies. I'm glad I passed. I'm still learning to spot cleaned and retoned coins. I have a ways to go. Paul Bulgerin Report this Post to the Staff
