I can't tell if the obverse is a weak strike or just a bad angle on the photo. It looks like natural gray toning around the devices, but I'm no expert on that.

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 08:28 am It looks dipped and is starting to re-tone. Possibly a diluted dip as some of the original peripheral toning was retained. VF25 is correct and the auction price reflects the below average eye appeal. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff

moxking Rest in Peace United States 17900 Posts	Posted 02/19/2016 1:02 pm Grade is correct. Cleaning can't be determined from those photos, I don't think. Dark peripheries and light centers usually indicate it was dipped and retoned many years ago. But I'm not seeing anything that absolutely tells of cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
