Hey guys,

Wishing everyone is great! I know this coin is with details - cleaned / scratch - but aside from this I cherry picked it for the variety. Is this a small 5 over 5 ? I'm at VG10 with details

I'll say F-12, just a stab.

I'd give it a F-12, but maybe not with a details designation. The scratches are small. How big do they need to be to get the details designation?

As far as labeling it as 'cleaned, I wouldn't. The cleaning looks like it was lightly done a long time ago. I think that kind of acceptable for a 134 year old coin.

Lots of wear on the Queen and the leaves are pretty flat. VG-10 details, cleaned/scratched.

It's a details coin, F12 or so, cleaned and scratched.
It also looks like a 5 over a 5 to me.

A vg 10 is probably about right little better than vg but not quite a f is my opinion

VG10
Cleaned, with some damage, but that's not unacceptable on a VG coin.
Small 5/5
"Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

Definitely a Small 5 over 5. Nice find!

I could see F-12 here.

Somehow missed the cleaning lines earlier. Definitely a details coin.
