one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 11:43 am Does this coin look obviously cleaned to folks? Do you think it would pass muster with a TPG? Also, what do you think is going on with In God We Trust? The "G" looks partly filled in, the "D" looks odd too. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 2:48 pm Looks great. I don't have the gifted eye that many folks around here do but it doesn't look cleaned to me.

Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 5:17 pm Agree with the above cleaned posts. A definite VF45, so close to EF. Add a post if you do send it off.

one_fine_dime Pillar of the Community United States 591 Posts	Posted 02/12/2019 7:06 pm Yeah, I was thinking possible die chip as well. A very pronounced "COD" Ballyhoo - I'm guessing you meant definite EF45, almost AU. I've seen PCGS AUs that look like this. I just bought a 1921 PCGS VF25 from Heritage, so just watching this one for now. I'm guessing it'll see heavier bidding soon, and will exceed my price range; just wishful thinking at this point. Nice to see a high(er) grade key date specimen still in the raw, when most other raw specimens in this issue are quite worn or more obviously dipped/cleaned. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
