1909 VDB LWC

I find the inconsistency of toning on the reverse a little suspicious. I particularly dont like the look around the "O" in "ONE."

Also, notice the striations on the reverse have two different angles...one (toning) angle looks natural...the other angle (from the O in ONE to the E in CENTS) looks like cleaning striations to me.

The dirt in the east ear and in between the east ear and rim leads me to believe the coin had more dirt elsewhere on the coin in the past.

There are two noticeable dings in the west ear.

Consequently, the reverse compromises the grade: IMNSHO, Low 60s RB...cleaned.

I love the obverse.

I agree with JHS, looks like an old cleaning, MS-64.

I cant tell if it has been cleaned, these look much different in hand. To me in hand, yes, it does have a nice wood grain appearance.

I could agree with that, I have a couple of culls I dipped in E-Z-est it gave them a streaked look.
