BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 10/14/2007 03:33 am Pretty sure it's hard a cleaning. Grade and opinons? Included a shot with a "normal" brown cent for comparison.

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 10/16/2007 1:19 pm I'd grade this F-15, "cleaned." (Obverse close to F-12; reverse close to VF-20.) Report this Post to the Staff
greyhav Valued Member United States 144 Posts	Posted 10/17/2007 1:41 pm I thought there's a chance it's damage rather than cleaning. Not that that's much better. It looks like the scrapes are in the same direction on both sides, as if it was done as one event, which seems odd. Like if you held it by the edges, gripped both faces with pliers, and scraped the pliers across to get both sides at once. There seems to be wear after the scraping, which is the only reason I wouldn't think it was cleaned by a collector. Report this Post to the Staff
