panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18663 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 7:48 pm Wow. Not only did someone clean it...they scrubbed this with steel wool! Its about as bad as it gets. Most certainly destroyed its value and collectability Report this Post to the Staff
SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 05/01/2015 9:09 pm I can't find enough wear to go below AU. The talons are well-defined, nothing on the neck, almost nothing on the wings, arrow fletches still sharp, hair still detailed, fingers and shield untouched. This was no worse than AU55 prior to the cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
dcas55 New Member United States 44 Posts	Posted 05/02/2015 09:35 am Thank you all for your opinions. I saw this coin several times, when he accepted my $75 offer I took it. I know cleaning makes the value much less, but for me this coin is a good example for my collection. Thanks again. dcas55 Report this Post to the Staff
