Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 01/10/2019 10:47 pm I don't see those lines/scratches on the wings when I look at the actual coin, even when I change angle and try to see them. Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 01/10/2019 10:56 pm Sometimes it's better to leave a coin alone for fear of exposing what lies beneath. I think this is one of those cases. Did you wipe it with anything after the acetone bath? Report this Post to the Staff

llewellin Pillar of the Community United States 1005 Posts	Posted 01/10/2019 11:10 pm I think it looked a lot better before. That's the problem with cleaning coins, once you do it you can't go back Report this Post to the Staff
Pauldog Valued Member United States 325 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 12:25 am The actual coin looks a lot better, even very close to my eyes with low magnification, than the second set of pictures. Could some of it be from JPG compression? There was also less background light relative to light from the flash compared to the original pictures. Report this Post to the Staff

MikeF Pillar of the Community United States 3479 Posts	Posted 01/11/2019 12:47 am You will always be the best judge b/c you are viewing it in hand. We are sort of hamstringed judging a coin from pictures. Based off of the pictures currently at hand, it looks harshly cleaned or worse. Possibly scraped across a hard rough surface. So understand that we are not 'picking' on your coin. Just offering highly subjective opinions based on what we are able to see. Thanks for posting it and we are always here to help the best that we can. to CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
