Here's another coin. Cleaned? Seems to have no luster.   I had to crop the picture, but most of it is there. |

Remember that white silver coins DOESN'T necessarily mean cleaned. But the Walkers certainly do look cleaned.
Peace looks good. Many Peace have subdued matte finish, even in high mint state.

There is luster on the Peace dollar you can clearly see it on the reverse. |

The First Walker is cleaned in my opinion. The dull color and hairlines suggest so. The second walker may be slightly cleaned, but mirror like surfaces on silver coins, from what I understand, do tend to get hazy over time. The Peace dollar looks just lightly circulated. Then again, Peace dollars are known for having weak strikes, and I don't know much about grading them. It also has a few bag marks. Which is common, especially for old silver dollars. |

Looks like someone used a silver polish on the walkers.
