adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 877 Posts	Posted 12/12/2023 10:15 pm I saw that pass by on ebay earlier tonight. Not much to go on picture wise other than it looks like it has been cleaned. Post pics when you have it in hand. I'll be curious to see what it looks like. Report this Post to the Staff

MisterT Pillar of the Community United States 2003 Posts	Posted 12/13/2023 11:15 am What a shame. early coppers that have been cleaned have little to no interest for collectors. The damage is permanent and can never be undone. I hate to even mention this but the coin is already ruined so perhaps a product like Dellars Darkener might make it more appealing for placement in a type set. Either way it will always be a doctored coin. Report this Post to the Staff

That is not the end of the world. I have a few cleaned coins; I would not have afforded them otherwise.
