T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 3:02 pm AU-58/UNC. I don't believe it is cleaned . The obverse in general has a fairly nice strike ,but the 3 bottom stars on left side puzzle's me .Not sure if it's wear or just weak stars. By the overall look of the coin, I would put my money on weak stars . Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 3:46 pm Dustin, I think your lighting techniques need some adjustment. All the coins you are posting have the same issue - they look possibly cleaned because of the lighting, when I'm not sure they are. Report this Post to the Staff
Dustin6 Pillar of the Community United States 3516 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 4:09 pm I am using a paper towel for diffused lighting. I know, the coin looks cleaned in the photo but under my scope there is no sign of it being cleaned. Is it possible that I need to use something else to diffuse the light.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18717 Posts	Posted 06/17/2016 6:47 pm just try natural light and see how they come out. too washed out to determine MS Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36903 Posts	Posted 07/11/2016 06:58 am Too hard to grade from the photos as we can't see what the natural luster looks like. I agree with panzaldi, just use natural light without defusing. Report this Post to the Staff
