Curious about this little gal. Seems a bit more steely in hand than the pic. These coins came out of a 200 year type set in a wood box, I'm curious cleaning vs being in that container for the appearance. All the 90% coins have the exact same look to them.

I'll say VG, possibly a details coin (cleaned) if this color is more or less correct.

on your 20C piece you provided a second set of photos that looked much better can you do that for this one as I dont think this is an accurate depiction of your coin

Will do when I get home. Seems my iphone doesn't like to do straight on pics. I'll try to experiment with some different lighting to get better color. All the 90% coins I'm posting all have the same "look" to them as the 20 center, just seems pics off my desk give an orange tone. Thx for the input!

Yeah, I agree black background might help, as well as not having any light or flash on the coin.

These capture color more accurately, original photos capture detail more. Just using my iphone so trying to find a good balance! Not a big deal regardless, not an expensive coin by any means. Just trying to determine if cleaned, which I think most in this collection I bought are, but very light and a long time back, and a ballpark grade for em.

Definitely cleaned, and G6 details. Many old coins were cleaned as it was not always considered taboo to do so like it is now.
