KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 3:01 pm Kind of blurry, but is it cleaned? Hard for me to tell, apparently. Report this Post to the Staff

KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 3:56 pm How can you tell? Basically if it looks decent, it's been cleaned? Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 4:11 pm In these blurry images, cleaning lines seem to show all over, but need sharper pics to confirm. Report this Post to the Staff

BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:12 pm Yes, numerous hairlines. This is the worst of the three pieces you posted (that I have seen). ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 7:17 pm Ken - Can you sharpen these images? You say it's hard for you to tell - perhaps the first set of pics is misleading. Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 8:20 pm Coinfrog, I don't have the coin, these pictures were just copied. They're all blurry. Report this Post to the Staff
Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 8:30 pm Well OK - aren't you concerned about the apparent scratches in these pics? Why is this hard to tell? Edited by Coinfrog 04/09/2019 8:34 pm Report this Post to the Staff
KenBerthiaume Pillar of the Community United States 512 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 9:54 pm I hadn't blown it up enough to see yhe hairlines. Mostly I was trying to learn how to spot a cleaned coin. The hairlines imply it was cleaned with a tool of some sort rather than being dipped? Report this Post to the Staff
numismatic student Bedrock of the Community United States 11909 Posts	Posted 04/09/2019 11:07 pm the hairlines indicate it was cleaned with an abrasive cloth, paste, bristles or something else. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18712 Posts	Posted 04/10/2019 09:18 am Looks high AU. there are some definite scratches in the fields with some pretty deep, however, because of the blurry photos its too difficult to determine if they cross over the devices or are just on the fields. if it was harshly cleaned you would see them crossing everything not just the fields. if you don't own it, I would pass without better photos Report this Post to the Staff
