panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18685 Posts	Posted 12/20/2023 09:17 am sadly I have to burst your bubble and agree with the above comments. because its such a common coin at higher grades I don't think there is any collector premium above its silver value. hopefully you didnt overpay for it and if you did maybe they have a return policy. until you're able to discern a cleaned coin (which can take years) I suggest posting here prior to pulling triggers, get the feedback, and add that to your knowledge base going forward if the coin was assigned a grade it would be UNC (details) cleaned Report this Post to the Staff

Yes but typically on the worse side of cleaned. it is possible to have a lightly cleaned coin depending on how it was done and how much (such as dipping) that could grade straight. no whizzed coin would pass with a straight grade Report this Post to the Staff
IndianGoldEagle Bedrock of the Community United States 36827 Posts	Posted 12/21/2023 09:59 am Whizzing is done with a high speed wire brush to remove part of the surface and imitate chartwheel luster. It was a real big issue in the 70's to take EF or AU coins and sell them as CH BU. I would prefer having a cleaned coin over a whizzed one any day. Report this Post to the Staff

PCGS lumps it in with code 98 Damage under #10 "Smoothed" https://www.pcgs.com/grades#grade98 whereas cleaning is under code 92. NGC lumps it under Cleaning https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-gradin...ils-grading/ (click Read More). ANACS website doesn't say either way. Report this Post to the Staff
