parkay Valued Member Canada 287 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 8:32 pm I can't see any scratch marks that would indicate cleaning, but this coin seems awful shiny for its age. Do you think it has been cleaned? Thanks for you comments Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9864 Posts	Posted 12/26/2017 9:03 pm There are nice and shiny '51 PL dollars but I don't think this is one. Just my opinion, others may differ. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning... -from PCGS website Report this Post to the Staff

However, some have been circulated (worn) and cleaned to resemble uncirculated coins. However, this coin is most likely cleaned. Report this Post to the Staff
Pacificoin Pillar of the Community Canada 5394 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 12:47 am Possibly cleaned . Remember that there were lots of issues surrounding the striking of Dollar Coins in the early 1950s. You will find Silver Dollars Of 1950 through 1952 with both somewhat satiny surfaces and some with a very chromelike appearance due to the use of heavily polished Dies. There are numerous examples of true Prooflike coins made for collectors and of circulation strikes that appear Prooflike but are just business strikes from fresh Dies. Report this Post to the Staff
doubleeagle59 Pillar of the Community Canada 2495 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 09:48 am I would guess 'yes', but there is no way anyone can be positive based on that picture. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/27/2017 12:08 pm Agree that it's really a tough call from this pic. It could very well be simply a mishandled unc. Report this Post to the Staff
