I don't see evidence of cleaning but can't tell if I see a little rub on the curl and hair. Thoughts? Report this Post to the Staff

Sometimes it is hard to know if stray marks are on the coin or the packaging. For example, your first pic shows some parallel scratches between the date and IGWT but it isn't clear if they are on the coin or not.

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 02/05/2022 08:11 am Yeah! I know! It is sooo hard taking pictures through these flips. The scratches are from the holder. I guess I should have been upfront. I'm making my decision as to keep or send back the three Washingtons I have posted. Unpacking voids return policy. The ones I post later will be unpacked. I am trying to ask in the titles for my biggest concerns. This one is my concern it is not MS. The other if anyone sees signs of cleaning. If this coin's rub will not hold it back from MS (hard to tell from the photos) I will keep it and post better pics outside the flips. I swear I am working on a new photography setup but that will be a couple week. Thanx for bearing with me till then. I hope to get through this lot of Washingtons and Jefferson's With all your help. Learn a bit more about the series in MS and hopefully not make the same errors in my next round of buying. Edited by captainkurt 02/05/2022 08:19 am Report this Post to the Staff

captainkurt Pillar of the Community United States 1406 Posts	Posted 02/05/2022 10:54 am Can't take it out of the holder yet due to return policy but if I can get comfortable about the minor runs I see on the hair, cheek and neck not holding it back from MS I'll pull the trigger and get photos without the holder.
