Also, it is hard to seen the band on the crown, which is key for grading and we we need to be definite. But from what I can see, it is cleaned, and in terms of wear, Fine to Very Fine.

Cdncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 999 Posts	Posted 09/20/2018 9:23 pm I agree, it looks like someone at a point in the coin's life gave it a shine. Cleaning can make the coin look brighter but gives it an unnatural appearance and also scratch and remove details on the coin. The general rule of thumb is to not clean your coins. 1928 was one of the more common years in the 20's for pennies. In a VF grade, the coin is $1. Given the cleaning, it would be less.
