I think "lightly cleaned" means different things to different people. What confuses me is the apparent flow lines that I see in some areas. I thought cleaning/dipping that usually removes a coin's luster, typically removes those flow lines too (since luster and flow lines are pretty closely related).
Too bad too, they all look really scratched up and bleached out, would have liked to see them in their prior original states.

What happened to one coin per thread?
Ok, sorry about that...I posted all of these since they were all from the same seller and had a similar look to them, and my comments were general regarding that. Some of these dates are relatively challenging to find fully struck, very disappointing to see so many cleaned coins, especially in better struck specimens.
