Hi all, I have been buying groups of Walking Liberty cpins lately, and one batch was noticeably brighter (that is probably the right word) than the others. What I don't know is if that means cleaned, or polished, or acetone, or what. I feel there is still luster. Nothing dark in the recesses like the others. Thoughts? I can provide other comparison photos if helpful.  |

Pictures of the reverse are a must to grade.

Here is the reverse. If cleaned, I am interested in the tells if any, other than the relative brightness. The color in the reverse photo is more representative of the coin in hand than the color in the obverse photo.  |

It's worse that just dipped. It's been polished a bit and it has rim issues. It's really worth only the melt value.

IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
