Besides a PSD on left wheat stalk, I am thinking EF-40 to AU-50? Any thoughts? Thank you for helping!   |

Thank you! I found this in a bank roll. What do I look for when it is cleaned?

XF details, cleaned.
In this case, the cleaned coin looks shiny, but is devoid of any cartwheel luster.

A worn coin that looks new & shiny. You can take a worn cent & submerge it in a chemical (ie eZest Coin Cleaner) for 5-10 seconds or so and it will remove the top layer of patina/tarnish.
As a coin ages & wear you can expect a certain look or change in detail & surface. If the wear does not match the surface, you know someone doctored the coin.

Cleaned...VF. If it has considerable wear as your coin does, and it is nice and bright, then it was cleaned.

At least you can't beat the price.

Thanks everyone! It's too bad it was cleaned. It's shiny, but lacks my enthusiasm without the luster. At least I'm on the right track in grading. Figuring out if coins carry a premium is another story. One step at a time.
