KenKat Pillar of the Community United States 4085 Posts	Posted 01/10/2015 10:38 am I agree with the VF grade. It may have been lightly cleaned in the past, but it looks like a scanned image and I think there's a good chance it will have decent eye appeal when you get it in hand. As long as you didn't pay a king's ransom for it, I think it is a decent coin to add to a collection and not a critical mistake. My 7070 US Type Set My 7100 Lincoln Cent Set (now with updates!)

CopperCastle Pillar of the Community United States 1132 Posts	Posted 01/10/2015 11:12 am a "cleaned" coin is frowned upon in the sentiment that we try to impart an idea of the scope of damage that can be caused in the cleaning process. However... owning a cleaned coin is not an "end game". I've knowingly purchased cleaned coins that are 1)beautiful AND 2)can often be attained at a discount. Collect what you want to collect and to the wind with what anyone else has to say. It's your collection I paid a meager $18 for this lovely 3 cent nickel. Quite attractive, don't you think? If you don't....I could care less. I LOVE IT! Edited by CopperCastle 01/10/2015 11:30 am Report this Post to the Staff

It's your collection That's true, but the OP is risking spending money before he knows how to identify a cleaned coin or even if he likes them well enough to be buying them. He is leaping without looking and will regret it later. This is what we're trying to stop before he starts throwing serious money away. Report this Post to the Staff
