I saw this on ebay. I have no interest in bidding on it. Something seems off about it. I'm always trying to educate myself. I'm wondering what others think.   |

Polished or plated, I agree. Quote:
Looks dipped to me. Dipping has the opposite effect, it kills shine or luster while cleaning. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

They took a nice EF coin and polished the heck out of it.

That's just sad to see. Why would anyone take a nice-looking coin and polish it like this? I guess someone didn't understand that shiny isn't always a good thing on old coins! Don't clean and never polish a possibly valuable coin! I have a Barber quarter around here somewhere that got the same treatment, and it looks like it was a nice high-grade coin before they destroyed it.  I need to find it and take a couple of pictures.

Run! This is a ruined coin that has been devalued by polishing or cleaning. So sad.

Don't clean and never polish I especially dislike polishing, myself. I wish I put the auction in my Watchlist just to see what it sells for. There was an opening bid of $25 + Shipping. |

Some mental defective ruined this coin.
