Very clear, fine coin. The liberty is easy to read, although not in this photo. The photo uploading is a cumbersome process at this point for me. I chose this one because the lighting shows the 'chin goatee' well. * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

d805 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/23/2019 4:07 pm Die chip 'goatee'. Thank you all for the diagnosis! I have been going through the coins given to me by my father. Most are fairly easy to identify so I can confidently list them on ebay. This one has this die chip making the face interesting and it is a really well-preserved coin. Fine at least. I haven't tried to clean any of the coins (I've learned that much). Do any of you think it is worth having this one professionally cleaned and valued? If so, is there anyone you would recommend?

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4593 Posts	Posted 04/24/2019 4:33 pm Stop saying cleaned. Just stop. If you send it off to one of the TPGs (and this isn't worth it), they MAY ask permission (or you have it in the fine print) to CONSERVE it. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
d805 New Member United States 4 Posts	Posted 04/25/2019 10:34 am okay. thank you BStrauss3 Forgive my novice state - but all of the warnings I have read on this and other sites tell those new to coin collecting not to clean them. So to be clear - if I try to clean a coin up, it is called 'cleaning' If a professional does it is referred to as 'conservation'. ? Is this enough of an irritant that I should not even mention that I did not try to clean them when I list them on ebay for sale? Because anyone worth their salt can see that for themselves from the photos? Report this Post to the Staff
