    I'm getting conflicting opinions on IG so I thought I'd ask here. 20210611_205816.jpg 20210611_205916.jpg

    Not altered but cleaned and/or polished one way or another, if gently.

    Nice ‘38 Jeff…really good shape. Looks toned from having been in a Whitman album for a while…imo…Spark

    edited…I don’t think it has been polished, and I don’t see any cleaning evidence…

    Nice coin. I believe the nice toning came from the Capital holder.

    Looks great and the color is from an old album. Don’t see any signs of a cleaning or polishing.

    Morgandude11 As long as it's Silver, I'm listening

    Looks like very typical Capital plastics toning to me. I own several slabbed Jeffersons that look like that in high grades. It is a nice coin.

    Not a Jefferson collector, but looks unmolested to me.
