This is my first attempt at Macro Photography with my DSLR. I hope it's good quality and shows all the features correctly.   Edited by CoinWorldCanada

Looks like it's been cleaned.
Wipe marks all over the obverse.

I don't think it's cleaned but I think when I compare the real coin with the photo, it seems like the DSLR picked up much more then naked eye and even the black mark shown in the photo is a tiny silver scratch on the luster. It's very hard to accurately show the coin when comparing to what I am holding. I can't see 90% of the scratches when under a nice magnifying glass, I took the photos with at Nikon D350 and AF-S VR Micro-Nikkor 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens.

I'll say AU-53, perhaps 55, agree obverse shows very slight evidence of cleaning.

All that being said - it is a nice looking coin.

AU details, obverse has been lightly wiped. I've seen the same thing on some coins where I can't see anything under a loupe but the camera exposes an old cleaning. Might grade clean at a TPG depending on how they evaluate it. Edited by fenton

The coin has been cleaned. What the other commenters are referring to are these "scrubbing" lines on the lower half of the obverse. I know it's disappointing, I have many Morgan and Peace dollars that look pretty good even under a 10X loupe, but for some reason the camera sees things that even a 10X loupe does not. Here's an enlarged section of your coin that shows the cleaning.  |
