Wanted a large diameter quarter on a small budget, this is what I came up with....lighting was a little harsh one updated pics, focus is a hair off but more indicative of coin in hand Really don't see this one as harshly cleaned...coin is a hair lighter in color but not much   Edited by shadowtrooper78

Haha the contrast was fine for me but, maybe it will show more, but chances are that it'll still look like a VG-8

VG Cleaned. Is the coin as dark as it seems in the pictures or is it just the lighting?

It appears to be an easy VG8 and a doubt this ~200 year old coin would grade as details. Finding an evenly struck nearly full rim Lg. Capped Quarter in VG is always a pleasure. |

@shadowtrooper78: Try adjusting the angle of your lighting/camera. Normal circulation wear is causing people to think you have a cleaned coin when likely it's fine. I've seen similar pieces grade problem-free hundreds of times.

I agree with VG8 and have a feeling your picture or lighting conditions are making it look not as nice as it really is.

It may be a shot in the dark, but I personally would use a q-tip coupled with some residue-free acetone to dislodge any crud in an attempt to reveal additional detail and to lighten the currently-darkened nature of the patina.
A grade change is highly unlikely but this process may produce a more optimal photo to the greater extent of what is possible with something as harshly cleaned as this one.
