John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/01/2019 10:28 am Not good at grading so I won't. But,the black spot on the obverse bothers me and I do not think it would make FSB because of the lower band. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 12:24 pm Just to be clear,coin appears to be dipped not "cleaned" hence no hairline scratches. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

Rickg65 New Member United States 26 Posts	Posted 07/02/2019 11:20 pm I know most dont like coins ty hat are cleaned. Is dipping considered cleaning? Does it bring the value of the coin down? Report this Post to the Staff
macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5832 Posts	Posted 07/03/2019 01:25 am I wont go over much about dipping, but over dipping will certainly strip away luster, the pictures is over exposed, so no way to really tell if there's luster from these images or just bad lighting. 3rd party grader required only center band to be separated to grade as FB, I could be wrong. The rim between 10 and 11 O'clock have a minor indent possibly got hit at one point in time. The carbon spot as John1 mentioned does hurt the value slightly. This will grade uncirculated detail from these images. Report this Post to the Staff
