i have found that a lot of the really nice Seated halves have been cleaned, I have a 1854-o in AU55 and it is harshly cleaned, I was wondering how come so many of them have been clean
I definitely believe the poor girl saw the wheel. Still, I would say AU 55 but as posted above it was not properly cleaned. As to the number of these that have been cleaned being high, I believe their intrinsic beauty causes the unsuspecting and uninformed collector to clean the coin without realizing they are damaging it.
