SHAFTA9a Bedrock of the Community Canada 10743 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 1:34 pm Looks like it may have had a light cleaning, EF-45, dings on the obverse keeps it from AU, IMO. Report this Post to the Staff
VisigothKing Pillar of the Community United States 4778 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 3:43 pm I'm going with AU-50 Report this Post to the Staff
Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 4:35 pm Here are a couple shots taken at a different angle, using the same lighting. I don't think it appears to be cleaned. If it has been, it's not at all offensive to me. I think the fact that the previous image was so washed out, may have left that impression.

DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 4:39 pm I don't see any evidence of crud removed, which would expose underlying corrosion. If anything, this grade of coin is more likely to be "whizzed", not scrubbed, to look MS. It's pretty easy to tell a whizzed coin where the fields meet the devices. I think I'm seeing evidence of mint surfaces on this coin. Edited by DVCollector 09/07/2011 7:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Chancellor Sutler Pillar of the Community United States 1372 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 5:21 pm The reason I contend it's not had any of those treatments, is the light, but still present, green residue at the top of the wreath and shield. If it's had anything done to it, it's not been done recently. Chance Edited by Chancellor Sutler 09/07/2011 5:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff
D0ubl3Eagle Pillar of the Community United States 5854 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 6:56 pm I would guess EF-45. Report this Post to the Staff
JackB Pillar of the Community United States 1064 Posts	Posted 09/07/2011 7:52 pm I would agree with previous AU-50 opinions; don't see any evidence of cleanings... Report this Post to the Staff
