There's an indentation, but inside the indentation is part of the ear or some other part of the die, which leads me to believe the indentation was there first and then minted. The bottom two are before I cleaned it, top is after Anyway, does this look like something worthy of being sent out and graded? Edited by Jacob2290 12/24/2022 12:41 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Waiting for our experts to show up and offer their views. That said - the cost to grade this coin with a top tier TPG would be on the order of $50. I encourage relative newcomers to the hobby to slow down on the rush to 'grade' their coins when what is really needed is gaining knowledge to grade them yourself. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff

That means numismatically the coin is ruined. Your wiped away years of patina. The best strategy is to never, never, NEVER ever clean your coins, period. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
