westernsky Pillar of the Community United States 7624 Posts	Posted 05/04/2019 10:42 pm The cleaning is obvious to the obverse, not so obvious to the reverse. I picked up on it at first glance. I'd just about bet the coin was cleaned and and then retoned by a coin doctor. If you like the coin is all that really matters, Anyway, you can always bust it out of its plastic tomb and put it in a Dansco type set. Report this Post to the Staff
fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3660 Posts	Posted 05/05/2019 6:05 pm Some of the scuff marks on the neck look like slab scuffing. The long neck scratch from the sword fight, however, is a problem. I don't think this would get detailed if the grade is AU, but that scratch might detail an UNC coin. The '97-O is a pricey coin and really escalates above VG. I could see this as AU-53. Report this Post to the Staff
