I'm curious how you determined that the obverse had been cleaned though. What tripped me up were the rings around some of the stars on the reverse, as well as the overall bright and flashy look of the entire piece. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 06/05/2018 9:15 pm Your pictures show the differences well. Obverse has a harsh unnatural look, somewhat bright, with lots of fine polishing scratches evident to the eye. Reverse is much softer in appearance, a natural light gray, with no such scratches evident. Overall grade EF details (cleaned). Report this Post to the Staff
