zachlovessix Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 11:42 am Hey all, I was looking at this auction http://cgi.ebay.com/1863-Indian-Cen...t_2488wt_944 Any thoughts on if this coin has been cleaned or how it would grade? The auction says that it has ms63 details which leads me to believe that the coin was cleaned. Any help would be great! Z Report this Post to the Staff

He's preying on less-knowledgeable people for whom that statement means something entirely different than it does for us. I don't think it touches "MS63" details, anyways. Time to move on to the next coin. Report this Post to the Staff
zachlovessix Valued Member United States 72 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 12:09 pm Thanks, I was thinking the same thing but I thought that I would get a second opinion on it anyway! Report this Post to the Staff
DavidZerbato Pillar of the Community United States 1081 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 12:13 pm Definitely cleaned or polished. There's a lot I don't like about the coin. So many bag marks/nicks, I would grade it MS-60. Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 12:28 pm It's pretty reflective, but without cartwheel. I think it's been dipped or otherwise altered. Report this Post to the Staff
oldcoach Valued Member United States 402 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 1:05 pm I gotta go with dipped also. You should be able to find you a decent one with out to much trouble. Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 06/22/2011 2:19 pm Dipped, lightly polished, AU details, lots of nicks. I would net grade it VF-35 to XF-40. Report this Post to the Staff
