panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 5:46 pm details are enough for low AU however, the coin was cleaned and would not be market acceptable Report this Post to the Staff
Smack2k Valued Member United States 60 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 8:08 pm What are the aspects that show it was cleaned? Still trying to learn that stuff as this one, like the others, had been stashed away in a box for over 35 years and hadnt been touched. Learning what to look for as cleaned would be a great help to me! Edited by Smack2k 08/17/2016 8:49 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Joseph7420 Bedrock of the Community Canada 11922 Posts	Posted 08/17/2016 11:58 pm It looks like it could make AU-50 Details. The colour indicates that it has been cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18706 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 7:34 pm dipping strips the top layer of the coin and removes some of the original luster. the more its dipped the more is stripped off. when the chemical used is not properly rinsed it leaves a residue on the coin. over several years this residue reacts with the surfaces and causes the blue green red blotchy tones you see here. natural toning normally is consistent and usually begins around the rims and moves toward the devices. the underlying luster would still remain, in most cases, and peek through the toning. on your coin you can see how dull the surfaces look which is indication that the surfaces were altered. hope that helps Report this Post to the Staff
fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 08/18/2016 7:56 pm AU details - looks like it was dipped a number of times to try to remove some dark toning. Report this Post to the Staff
