I bought this one at a coin show a couple of years back. I have her at EF details. Due to the lack of hairlines, I think this coin was overdipped and not mechanically cleaned. Did I overpay at $50? The dealer had $75 on the 2x2, but when I mentioned she was cleaned, he offered $65, and then when I hesitated, he offered $50. I took it without giving him an offer.   |

if you're happy that's what matters. Would I have paid $50? No. I would have saved $50 a month for 3 months and than gone hunting for a problem free EF45 which would cost you anywhere from $100 to $150.

I think your assessment is correct. Dipped EF-40 details.

No you won't. The surfaces will always reflect the earlier cleaning. Trust me.  Edited by Coinfrog

XF Details - Improperly Cleaned. Did you overpay at $50? Not really, but the $75 original asking price was too high. Some retoning while resting on untreated wood near a coal-fired power plant would help it a lot.  |

I agree with XF-Details. Doesn't look bad for $50. Probably not a deal either.

When you guys say dipped do you mean like the silver jewelry cleaner you dip stuff in?

Not exactly, but something very similar.
