xf details harshly cleaned
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."

How do you tell if it has been cleaned?

EF-40 but not sure it was cleaned. Brightness seems to be cranked up in the photos.

These are my photos, and they are (accidentally) over-exposed. Are these any better? I can re-shoot if need be.   |

I not sure if it has been cleaned or not. I'm also not sure who won the battle, the Indian or the buffalo. EF-40 here

No tell tale indications of cleaning, but nickel is hard enough to withstand some moderate rubbing without resulting in visible lines.
It makes EF, but just barely.

To me it looks like it was mildly cleaned with baking soda and water . |
