Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 5:12 pm The fields on the reverse gives the appearance that the coin has been harshly cleaned and if that's the case, it's worth no more than bullion (assuming I didn't miss a rare date/variety situation).

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 03/11/2015 7:24 pm I don't think it's been cleaned - gold scratches when you look at it sternly. AU55 to me. Report this Post to the Staff

Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3234 Posts	Posted 03/12/2015 2:43 pm Dave, based on the reverse picture at the top, the coin looks like it was harshly cleaned. I agree gold is soft and scratches easily but the reverse shows evidence of extreme movement of something like a brush or cloth across the fields. Regardless of how it got that way, by the looks of that picture it appears to be a problem. Report this Post to the Staff
