I've been away for awhile, but I've still been working on a type set as time allows. I've become a little more comfortable picking raw coins that I think would receive a straight grade (no details) and I am interested to see what comments the community has about a few recent acquisitions. I'll do a new topic for each coin (since I think that is the preferred method--someone please correct me if not) Sorry the Obverse pic is a little fuzzy, hopefully the reverse gives a good enough impression. Thanks for looking! -Chris   |

VF35 wear grade ; cannot issue an opinion on the surfaces. Overall quite a nice type coin.

VF35 and lightly cleaned. Might take a 5 point hit if it grades problem-free.

OK, thanks. So I can spot harshly/moderately cleaned coins, but I guess still need to adjust my eye to spot lightly cleaned or old cleanings. I thought any type of cleaning was an automatic details grade, are you saying that some minor cleanings will just bring a lower (but problem-free) grade?
I have seen some coins in NGC/PCGS slabs with details grades that looked fine to me, but I have also seen (less often) coins that, to me, looked cleaned, in those same slabs.
Still learning...

 Obverse could well have been wiped down at some point. |
