Webster Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 12:28 am Hey folks thinking about buying this coin, but the more I look at it the more the scratches on the obverse look like a cleaning. They're asking $40 dollars for it, which I think is reasonable if genuine. Let me know what you all think. Report this Post to the Staff

T-BOP Rest in Peace United States 18456 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 07:24 am It doesn't look cleaned to me . Maybe just rubbed with a dry cloth ,mint luster is not disturbed as it would if it was cleaned . It's a nice MS coin that has been slightly mishandled . MS-64 Report this Post to the Staff
dave700x Rest in Peace United States 10625 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 08:11 am I'm leaning more towards die polish lines. I see a couple lines that extend right to the base of the letters of IGWT. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 08:59 am Probably die polishing lines, but either way I'm not a fan of the look here. Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 10:43 am probably MS64 but the die polishing lines on the obverse are pretty prominent. they could be enhanced though from the lighting Report this Post to the Staff
Webster Valued Member United States 234 Posts	Posted 05/21/2021 12:04 pm Thanks for the info folks, it still has the luster which made my gut say genuine, but the prominence of the polishing lines especially many traveling in the same direction made me think twice. Learning slowly to ID cleaned coins. Report this Post to the Staff
