That's a bummer. Don't see hairlines, do we think this was dipped?

I'm betting someone attempted to clean that up but this not a harsh cleaning by any means. I've seen way worse grade straight |

Just can't figure it. Always a crapshoot.

At least they came through on the 1861 Indian. Sometimes you've got to look at the bigger picture.

I don't believe it's been cleaned. Look at my original pictures. Is what it is, though.

The lighter areas around the date made me wonder if someone tried to remove the dark areas. Still like the look of the coin overall.

UPDATE: OK, you guys are going to fuss at me for wasting the money, but I just had to know. I cracked it out and submitted to NGC. Came back as MS61BN. Straight graded.

Pcgs seen something in hand, that's for sure. Hopefully you actually got rid of that verdigris before sending it in.

Unc Details/Cleaned. Ouch . I guess the spots of verdigris coming back didn't help. |

Congrats on the new grade! Too bad you had to spend more in grading fees to get there . . .
