Shale Valued Member United States 245 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 09:10 am One of these days I will be able to identify these as cleaned... cleaned obviously makes it a problem coin, but in terms of mercuries does it make them worth melt at that point? Report this Post to the Staff

If it is a key date such as the 16-D, than no, way more than melt even at EF details. If it is this 1942, yes, its about worth its melt value. Learning to spot cleaned coins will take practice and time. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18668 Posts	Posted 01/07/2015 10:01 pm Look at the obverse with a loop if you one. Specifically on the cap right above the wing and to the left of the portrait. Also right through the date. You will see the hairlines/scratchs from a fairly harsh cleaning. The are very prominent Report this Post to the Staff
kanga Pillar of the Community United States 5825 Posts	Posted 01/08/2015 07:27 am A lot of those lines you see I attribute to die polishing. The ones in the date area are a prime example. BUT The lines on the cap have me a bit bothered. Report this Post to the Staff
