ryurazu Pillar of the Community Australia 1333 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 6:36 pm all joking aside, whats it actually been cleaned with? Cause it hasnt been polished I dont think since that would leave marks. Would it be like vineger (acetic acid) or carbonic acid (cola) or some harsher chemicals. Last time I ask the seller what they clean there coins with (same bright shiny look, they replied with "in a rock tumbler" . Note this is a different seller.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/30/2018 7:09 pm It does seem unnaturally bright and fresh. Dipped, perhaps? Report this Post to the Staff

Mr T Pillar of the Community Australia 2180 Posts	Posted 12/31/2018 12:18 am I'd say "some harsher chemicals" - vinegar is pretty slow acting and I've never seen it produce that finish (full disclosure - I use vinegar to tidy up verdigris-infected junk). Report this Post to the Staff

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 01:58 am Agree with above and the coin looked uncirculated anyway - complete waste of time and a fine coin to whoever did it. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 05/06/2019 03:17 am Should have mint lustre at this level of minimal wear. None observable. Cleaned with Basso or similar, using a soft polishing cloth. That is why there are no fine scratch marks. That is why there is no mint lustre. Report this Post to the Staff
