mdpmedia Pillar of the Community United States 3546 Posts	Posted 08/28/2024 7:10 pm Cleaning was not my original thought, but rather some sort of environmental damage that could detail the coin. So I guess, whatever it is, it's probably going to lower the grade I would now assume. Edited by mdpmedia 08/28/2024 7:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff
