GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 10:36 am This is one of a couple coins I am looking to buy today. There is a good chance it had a old cleaning. Looking for opinions, I am still working on a price. Not so good pictures ... taken with IPad Report this Post to the Staff

jpbone Pillar of the Community United States 1959 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 1:08 pm I like it. What are you seeing that makes you think it's been cleaned? I put it at about 25-30. The clasp is sharp like an EF, the reverse is around 20 IMO. The obverse is 30. I see the letters were not centered on the rim and looks like rim bumps. I have a few like this and it doesn't bother me personally. If the price was right, I would buy it. Report this Post to the Staff

Zurie Pillar of the Community United States 5674 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 1:55 pm I think VF-30 with original surfaces. The reverse rim nicks are pretty minor and not that concerning. Report this Post to the Staff
amida17 Pillar of the Community United States 4897 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 1:59 pm If the rim nicks do do not bother you it is a nice 25 example. I like it much more than the harshly cleaned reeded edge you posted.....just mho.... Report this Post to the Staff

GR58 Bedrock of the Community United States 11951 Posts	Posted 10/14/2016 9:23 pm I am so glad I picked this coin up .... But all day images of the War of 1812 have been in my head. Maybe I brought more than the coin home ... Report this Post to the Staff

Joe2007 Pillar of the Community United States 3843 Posts	Posted 10/15/2016 4:00 pm VF-30. I'd probably go for it too if the price was reasonable. Report this Post to the Staff
