scotty11 Pillar of the Community United States 1042 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 10:03 pm Signs of an old cleaning. Too much wear for an EF grade? Report this Post to the Staff

cwb1877 Pillar of the Community United States 1659 Posts	Posted 03/06/2011 11:50 pm I agree that it has been cleaned. I think it easily has EF details. Another good find for ya Scotty! Report this Post to the Staff

OneBowl Pillar of the Community United States 759 Posts	Posted 03/07/2011 12:14 pm I'm with bruceinga, what are the telltale signs that this one has been cleaned? Based on the reverse pic, I'd place it in the "suspicious/possibly cleaned" category. If there is something about the obverse that indicates a cleaning, I'm missing it unless it's the crud at 7 o'clock. Report this Post to the Staff

In hand, the high points on the obverse look like they've been wiped in the past. Especially on the shoulder and bust areas. I agree with Thad about it possibly being unintentional. I found it in a 1000 count bag and the only thing I've done with it is photograph it, and slip it in a 2x2. Report this Post to the Staff
