Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 12:59 pm Got my eye on this 1885-S Morgan and just wondering if you all think it has been cleaned. I don't believe it has but I am no expert at telling if one has been cleaned on not, Thanks.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...OCOR:US:1123 Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 1:06 pm I think it's OK. The lighting makes it look a bit "bright." Not a bad coin, high AU as described, fair price for both seller and buyer. Report this Post to the Staff

SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 1:33 pm Well, the possibility does exist. No photograph which doesn't show evidence of cleaning can be considered conclusive proof that it wasn't cleaned. What I don't see is, anything at all left clinging in tight corners, and unless it was polished on a bench buffer, something would be left to see. Report this Post to the Staff

fenton Pillar of the Community United States 4989 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 5:42 pm Looks OK but when buying AU it is probably best to stay away from coins that look overly bright. Won't add much value and there will always be a question as to whether it is a circulated coin that has been dipped. Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 6:22 pm Looks like it may be OK but there is the chance that the lighting hid the signs of cleaning. Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 6:25 pm Does look good, but agree, glare makes it questionable... Report this Post to the Staff
Wornslick Pillar of the Community United States 1304 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 7:20 pm Thanks all for your opinions. I decided to pass on this one, something about the coin just doesn't feel right to me. I'll just have to keep looking. Report this Post to the Staff
