smalldawg59 Valued Member United States 484 Posts	Posted 09/11/2016 10:49 am I can normally spot cleaned coins pretty well, but ones like this are harder. I know gunk and dirt can accumulate in the devices and cracks on original coins, but how does this dollar compare? Many devices (like the arrow heads and eagles claws, the Phyrigian cap and around the eagles head and neck) have an "aura" or shadow that looks smooth and uninterrupted. Plus I see some faint hairlines too. Need your help, pls. Report this Post to the Staff

Imthealphaomega Pillar of the Community United States 3210 Posts	Posted 09/11/2016 11:36 am Doesn't look cleaned to me honestly....I am at vf35/xf40. just natural circulation wear. I'd look online for diagnostics of genuine 1895 O Morgan's or wait for experts on the 95 O to chime in. I am always leery of raw key dates. Maybe take to a local coin dealer and get another opinion in hand too. Maybe also try an acetone soak to potentially remove any detrimental issues that we cannot see. Hope this helps.
