I don't own this coin, it is graded by ANACS, what's your opinion on this one? As the subject stated. Clean or Not?   *** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. *** |

Cleaned long ago probably. Below are what makes me think cleaned:
obverse: with the darkness/dirt/stain around the stars, the cap, and the date
reverse: with the darkness/dirt/stain inside the letters. the clean spots below the right claw and between the right leg and wing

The lack of luster vs. detail is a good indication that the dip was brought forth and your coin went for a dunk.

looks to be cleaned. You can see dirt around the date, witch is where the "cleaners" couldn't get to.

Has an over-dipped look that is unattractive. Details are XF+ but there's no luster, patina or grime? Improperly cleaned.

Really can't tell from the pic. It's a circulated coin so I'm not surprised to see a difference between the fields and around the stars and within the relief.

My guess is that the coin is in a AU50/53 problem free holder. The coin looks like it has been dipped.

Nice coin with a very dull appearance . Cleaned or dipped .

I don't own this coin, but was curious what everyone think about condition. Coins that are over a hundred year old circulated have this look that is hard to tell whether it is cleaned or not, unless it was cleaned recently.  |

I was perhaps a bit harsh on it earlier. It does look market acceptable for problem-free in the slab photo. I've certainly seen much worse in problem-free slabs.
