RollinCoins New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 10:20 pm Trying to decide whether to send this coin back to auction or not. Of course once again, I was fooled by online pictures. Curious -- do you think this is F or XF And I'm still struggling to see signs of cleaning... generally. I mean I see hairlines.. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by RollinCoins 05/27/2021 10:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff

silviosi Pillar of the Community Canada 6244 Posts	Posted 05/27/2021 10:28 pm In my opinion it is a cleaned coin. Not all the cleaned coins has hairlines. By shinny I will say clean with toothpaste. Report this Post to the Staff

Slider23 Pillar of the Community United States 4468 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 10:52 am The obverse looks VF Details cleaned/polished and reverse looks XF Details cleaned/polished. Return to seller. You may want to consider buying coins over $200 in a TPG holder until your grading skills improve on identifying cleaned coins. A good starting place is to learn what original skin on a coin looks like. Report this Post to the Staff
Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 11:08 am First, based on the details a fine-12 or vg-10. Personally, I consider all circulated coins to be cleaned. So grading also becomes a personal choice. Nice specimen either way, thanks for sharing and the question/advice.

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 05/29/2021 3:45 pm I don't believe in having coins sent in for grading. IF I like one, it goes into an Album. It is there for me so why worry about it's grade. Report this Post to the Staff
