Big-byte Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 4:58 pm I see this listing on ebay. It looks to me that this coin has been cleaned. My suspicion is raised due to the dark ring next to the rim. Am I correct? http://cgi.ebay.com/1944-S-One-Linc...nt_W0QQitemZ 250341738951QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCoins_US_Individual?hash=item250341738951&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72:1205%7C66:2%7C65:12%7C39:1%7C240:1318%7C301:0%7C293:1%7C294:50 Report this Post to the Staff

Big-byte Valued Member United States 122 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 5:04 pm No. All I see is what you see. I am just trying to find out how to spot a cleaned copper coin. Thanks. Report this Post to the Staff
BH1964 Bedrock of the Community United States 10982 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 5:43 pm No way to tell from that pic. Pass on it. I'd never buy a coin with only those pics and after all, it's not worth a buck unless it's MS64RD anyway. ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 9:48 pm Cannot tell with that photo- it is too small and too much light was used which washes out the detail and makes the coin look too bright. Also, there is no reverse photo so you cannot even see half the coin! Report this Post to the Staff
BadThad Bedrock of the Community United States 19935 Posts	Posted 12/18/2008 11:03 pm ROFL...typical crappy ebay photo, you can't tell ANYTHING from that picture except that it's a coin. LOL Like bherring said, PASS PASS PASS. The 44S in true BU can be found everywhere for cheap. Wait until you find one that's positively a nice red MS coin. Lincoln Cent Lover!
