1880 Morgan Inquiry

What I am referring to is the hazy appearance around the devices in constrast to bright reflective fields- that is a classic sign of cleaning.

Take the coin out on a bright day, and look at it under a loupe in direct sunlight. If you can rotate and tilt the coin without seeing hairlines, you've dodged the bullet. Sunlight is merciless for revealing such things, as is halogen lighting under the camera, but both will only work at the right angle to the hairlines if they're there.

Wish you'd asked, if you wanted the color to go away. We could have hooked you up with far less-invasive methods. On the bright side, in the grand scheme of things this was not a particularly important coin; they're common in high grades.
