Fender79 Valued Member United States 251 Posts	Posted 01/03/2020 6:09 pm How on earth could anyone tell it was cleaned or "retoned"? Just curious? This coin collecting is disappointing as you know what. Whenever I find a really nice coin it get crapped on. Talk about a tough crowd. I didn't clean it and pretty sure my grandpaw didn't dip it, who had it probably since 1942. I was just sharing it to share and maybe curious of grade Report this Post to the Staff

macmercury Pillar of the Community United States 5838 Posts	Posted 01/03/2020 7:26 pm @Fender79, This is only my opinion, looking at the reverse, it appears what is left of some spotted area that didn't rinse off properly after dipping, thereby leaving that dull luster area. It could also be the way where it is kept. I'm not asking anyone or you to agree with my analysis, not here to offend your coins. Report this Post to the Staff
T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 01/03/2020 10:50 pm The truth is your coin's skin looks a little off .In my opinion It hasn't been cleaned or dipped . Could be an environment thing of how the coin was stored all those years . Nice coin as far as wear goes ,not FB . AU-55 . Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18716 Posts	Posted 01/04/2020 09:33 am whether the coin was improperly cleaned, improperly stored or grades straight the coin is worth about $4. the fact that it was passed down is more important for sentimental reasons Report this Post to the Staff
