Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 12:36 am This coin isn't in collectible condition. The copper looks pink, so I'm thinking it's cleaned. The high points of the coin have been rubbed worn down. This would get a "Details" grade because of the damage done by cleaning. It may be worth around 25¢. ANA ID: 3203813 - CONECA ID: N-5637 Clean a coin that may be worth collecting? Please DON'T! When in doubt, leave it dirty!! Report this Post to the Staff
Ericsavedfred Valued Member United States 53 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 12:48 am They haven't been cleaned even I know that one...lol it could be I was using the flash from my cell phone but now the battery is too low on my phone for the flash to work so I grabbed the work light out of the garage. I do value your input and thank you very much for taking the time to help out. The 1957 & 1942 I posted a few minutes ago those pictures my flash worked on my phone. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 11/10/2019 09:49 am Other than the fingerprint and evidence of light wear, I can't get a good feel for this one. Is this the actual color? Edited by Coinfrog 11/10/2019 09:50 am Report this Post to the Staff
