commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12255 Posts	Posted 05/03/2024 7:59 pm From the images provided, my eye sees a coin that has been cleaned in its past. I can't tell whether it was a harsh cleaning or not - the resolution of the images is not high enough for me to get a good sense of the coin's surfaces - but a "Details" grade would be likely if the cleaning disturbed the surfaces. I would suggest closely examing the coin with a coin magnifier to determine surface quality. In any case, the coin does not appear to be a high grade example that would justify the cost of professional grading. Just my opinion, of course - all based on the images provided.

nickelsearcher Moderator United States 15394 Posts	Posted 05/04/2024 06:46 am to the CCF Impossible to judge the surfaces based on these photos, but I'm leaning towards cleaned. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Report this Post to the Staff
Morgans Dad Pillar of the Community United States 5604 Posts	Posted 05/04/2024 9:00 pm ; As stated, Pictures are Not clear, Pretty good for a Phone........ I do see Necrotic remnants on the Obverse or residue(s) of what appears to of been a Cleaning of This coin, Along with the Original Luster Too..... I Also agree, Not a High Grade Candidate..... From the apparent " Wear seen on the Reeds ", I would Venture NOT an Uncirculated Coin Too. Maybe In- Hand appears different!!!! Thanks for Sharing, Just My Opinion....MD Report this Post to the Staff
LK0812 New Member United States 5 Posts	Posted 05/06/2024 6:24 pm Thank you everyone for your comments. I still see some lusters (cartwheel) on this coin. Is it possible for a cleaned coin to have cartwheel effect? Btw, here are some extra pictures of the obverse under the microscope. Thank you very much. Report this Post to the Staff
