KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 01/09/2008 12:48 pm clinne, nice example! I find silver coins are hard to grade by photos, due to the mint finish getting hidden by toning, etc. However, there's enough hair detail around George's ear to merit an XF I think. Regarding whether it has been cleaned, I do see directional streaking on the reverse, but again I can't say for sure. If you put it under a good loupe or scope and see evidence of scrubbing, that might be a clue. A little trivia on this issue: Thomas Shingles, the designer of the reverse, engraved the details entirely by hand--without the use of a Janvier reducing machine. Report this Post to the Staff
