Phaedrus29 Valued Member United States 228 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 3:54 pm Thanks for the opinions so far. It was graded PCGS UNC Cleaned. I'm just a beginner but I don't see the normal lines I would expect from improper cleaning. I assume they are referring to how, for example, on the front it appears that the faces are a different color than the rest of the coin...as if that center part was rubbed clean? Perhaps the cleaning was done a long time ago? Report this Post to the Staff

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15469 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 4:54 pm I was going to opine UNC - Details (really). The bag hits keep this at MS63 range if original surfaces ... the hairlines visible in several locations and uneven coloration lead to a cleaned conclusion. Nice coin however it was judged.

razorblaydejr Valued Member United States 278 Posts	Posted 05/22/2015 8:15 pm I thought this was an UNC coin. Shame for the hairlines that created a details grade. Edited by razorblaydejr 05/22/2015 8:15 pm Report this Post to the Staff
