adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 878 Posts	Posted 10/18/2024 11:59 pm I bid on this earlier, didn't win. Just curious on the CCFs thoughts on grade? Seller listed it as possibly cleaned. What do you all think about the hits on the neck, date and rim, and possible cleaning, detail or not? Report this Post to the Staff

DOCC Pillar of the Community United States 1502 Posts	Posted 10/19/2024 08:01 am One crisp Barber. I think it is UNC and not cleaned based on images. If it details it would be from Reverse rim damage, neck hits - while distracting - would likely pass. Edit to add: I don't like the lack of any luster showing given condition, hope seller was not monkeying with lighting to hide issues. I swing a metal detector and have a knack for finding dirty old coins.

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 10/19/2024 08:19 am I'll say AU/Unc details (rim damage, probably cleaned). Report this Post to the Staff

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18660 Posts	Posted 11/01/2024 09:56 am tough call. Definitely retoned if it was cleaned. the nicks on the neck are fairly deep and are displacing metal which is what they look for for a details designation. i'd say there's an 75% chance it would not grade straight Report this Post to the Staff
