Look at the protected areas on the Shield nickel. The high points of the devices and the open areas of the fields look "clean" while the low lying areas and areas near the rim (protected) show expected contamination for a circulated coin that's nearly 140 years old. To me that says "cleaned" but there are others here who can chime in also.... ANA #R3154474 Report this Post to the Staff
