gidjit Pillar of the Community Canada 1980 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 8:22 pm this gold stuff was really on there good. i have a little bit more to go,not sure what it was gold plated? I dunno I just know I wanted it off. one drawback is that some scratches were hiding under the gold but again I still think its a better coin now, what are your thoughts? what would you have graded it before and after cleaning? i forgot to mention this was also bent 2 ways (wavy)cant tell from pics but I straightened it out Edited by gidjit 08/14/2015 8:36 pm Report this Post to the Staff

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 08/14/2015 8:52 pm The grade is the same, before and after. Frankly, this coin looks better cleaned. Details in both cases, before: encrustations after: cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
