Here's a Barber Dime I recently got from an auction. I wanted to know what you all thought about its grade. I'm about MS63 to MS64. Does the obverse looked cleaned to anybody? That's my slight hang up with it.
I don't see any obvious signs of cleaning in your photo. Do any show up in hand? Not seeing any real wear on the high spots. Nice Barber.
It isn’t obvious to me in hand. The obverse is in a touch worse condition than the reverse, but the reverse is beautiful. There’s a slight nick on the cheek that didn’t show up on my pictures.
The second image makes the coin look cleaned. I don't see that in the first image. I can't tell much about the luster on the obverse. The reverse looks really nice. 63 or 64 if luster is there.
That’s what it looked like to me, too. It made me wonder if a coin doesn’t always look right in a photo that there must be a problem with the coin. I can see a nice cartwheel on the obverse, so I think it If was cleaned, it was not toooo severe?
