    Hello everyone,

    This one took deliberation, due to the obvious cleaning. I thought the price was fair. One question, The dealer said it may not have been as harshly cleaned as I had thought. His reasoning was the absence of the dark areas around the date and other crevices. What are your opinions. I thought the coin had AU details.

    It's a very nice coin. But I think you are much closer to right than the dealer.

    The coin looks like it was wiped long ago then retoned over the old cleaning, leaving hairlines....Mike

    Hi,
    If the lines that are visible are on the coin and not the holder, than it was very harshly cleaned.

    For the photos I took off the top of the holder. So yes, the hairlines are on the coin.
