0xDA71D Pillar of the Community United States 1215 Posts	Posted 08/21/2016 12:06 am I'm asking opinion on a quarter I recently bought. Do you think this would be considered to be market-acceptable or is it a problem coin? I would say the details is VF25 level. Report this Post to the Staff

TypeCoin971793 Pillar of the Community United States 6370 Posts	Posted 08/23/2016 06:42 am The dark toning halos around the devices indicate to me that a previous layer of patina had been stripped off (ie. cleaned), but it is still market acceptable. VF-25. Report this Post to the Staff

syeb Valued Member United States 282 Posts	Posted 08/26/2016 10:55 am I'm not so sure that the halos indicate an old cleaning but would love an explanation. Wouldn't the dark halos around the devices in a circulated coin just indicate that dirt has built up over the course of the time the coin was circulated? From normal handling, the dirt would have been constantly removed from the flat and raised areas but not in the protected locations. Look at any intricate piece of jewelry, silver tea set, or really any older item with intricate or engraved surfaces. Just by the very nature of being handled, any touchable dirt or patina may be removed but not from protected areas that are not touched in normal handling.
