smurdoch33 New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 02/14/2011 8:49 pm Hello All, I'm new the forums here, and just getting back into the hobby after being a collector as a kid. I'm looking to get some opinion as to whether this coin is real or not. It looks like it may have been cleaned, but there is a slight bit of fuzziness in the surfaces between some of the text. The coin was purchased on ebay from an American seller. Thanks for any info you might be able to provide. Report this Post to the Staff

glenzy1 Pillar of the Community Canada 1554 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 06:32 am HMMMMMMMMMM Does not appear to be a fake, best grade I see would be around EF-40/45, however, coin looks to have been harshly cleaned at one time! Glenn Report this Post to the Staff
smurdoch33 New Member Canada 4 Posts	Posted 02/15/2011 07:56 am Is there a general amount or percentage decrease in the value of a cleaned coin? Thanks Scott Report this Post to the Staff
